“To ride a bicycle properly is very like a love affair—chiefly it is a matter of faith. Believe you do it, and the thing is done; doubt, and, for the life of you, you cannot": H.G. Wells' The Wheels of Chance
Later printing of Wells' early comic novel. Octavo, original publisher's cloth, illustrated by J. Ayton Symington. In good condition.
Prolific in many genres, English author H. G. Wells wrote more than fifty novels and dozens of short stories. His non-fiction output included works of social commentary, politics, history, popular science, satire, biography and autobiography. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and, with Jules Verne, is widely regarded as the "father of science fiction." His most notable works include The Time Machine (1895), The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898).
