Publisher's Synopsis
In Twelve Stories and a Dream, the reader will find a surprising Wells who extends his search towards the fantastic and humorous recreation of diverse characters to whom a common bond unites: the irruption into their lives of an unusual, strange event, which leads to the most unsuspected and delusional situations ... the rogue who becomes the god of a tribe of savages, the phlegmatic English knight surprised by a ghost in "patrol" training, the psychic researcher whose body is kidnapped by a being from another dimension, the surprising effects of a drug called the "new accelerator" or the strenuous efforts of the obese Mr. Pyecraft to "lose weight."
