| Text | The Wonderful Visit at Wikisource |
The Wonderful Visit is an 1895 novel by H. G. Wells.[1] With an angel—a creature of fantasy unlike a religious angel—as protagonist and taking place in contemporary England, the book could be classified as contemporary fantasy, although the genre was not recognised in Wells's time. The Wonderful Visit also has strong satirical themes, gently mocking customs and institutions of Victorian England as well as idealistic rebellion itself.[2]
