About this audiobook
This book is a wonderful work of fiction by H.G. Wells, the author of The Time Machine. It is the tale of a fallen angel who simply cannot adapt to society in a small English village.
The angel's reactions to the villagers, his pureness and wholesomeness make him an enemy of the people. As time passes on earth, he becomes more and more human, falling in love and suffering all the human trials and tribulations.
