    About this audiobook

    "The Mode in Monuments: Stray Thoughts in Highgate Cemetery" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic.

    On a sharp, sunlight morning, when the white clouds are drifting swiftly across the luminous blue sky, there is no finer walk about London than the Highgate ridge.
