The Wonderful Visit by H. G. Wells
"The Wonderful Visit" by H. G. Wells is a novel published in 1895. When an angel from the "Land of Dreams" is mistaken for a bird and shot by a country vicar, he finds himself stranded in Victorian England. As he recovers at the vicarage, this otherworldly visitor grows increasingly dismayed by human civilization's cruelty and hypocrisy. His presence scandalizes the community, and his wings begin to wither. A satirical fantasy that
gently mocks Victorian society while exploring deeper questions about innocence confronting a harsh world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
