The Wonderful Visit : An Impression of H. G. Wells J. L. P. , 1939 single work criticism
— Appears in: Desiderata , February no. 39 1939; (p. 21-22)
'He was heckled, publicised, mis-represented, and subjected to discourtesies. He was tired, ruffled, and rude - always critical. Thus from some quarters was H. G. Wells, the man, made known to us.
