| A novel by H.G. Wells (1923) |
Mr Barnstaple was ever such a careful driver, careful to indicate before every man-oeuvre and very much in favor of slowing down at the slightest hint of difficulty. So however could he have got the car into a skid on a bend on the Maidenhead road? When he recovered himself he was more than a little relieved to see the two cars that he had been following still merrily motoring along in front of him. It seemed that all was well - except that the scenery had changed, rather a lot. It was then that the awful truth dawned: Mr Barnstaple had been hurled into another world altogether. How would he ever survive in this supposed Utopia, and more importantly, how would he ever get back?
