About this audiobook
"Incidental Thoughts on a Bald Head" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic.
I was asked to go, quite suddenly, and found myself there before I had time to think of what it might be. I understood her to say it was a meeting of some "Sunday society," some society that tried to turn the Sabbath from a day of woe to a day of rejoicing.
