Verklaringen
JalenV: I read quite a bit of H. G. Wells during the 1970s. I'm pretty sure I read this one.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read, enjoyed.
MyFathersDragon: I would have been about 13. I don’t remember finishing it, so either we went on vacation or I didn’t like it. At that age, I almost always finished books.
