Bealby: A Holiday is a novel by H.G. Wells that tells the story of a young boy named Bealby who is sent away on a holiday to escape his difficult home life. However, things take a turn when he is mistaken for a runaway and ends up working as a servant in a grand country house. Bealby becomes embroiled in the lives of the eccentric family he serves and their various dramas, including a potential inheritance dispute and a romantic entanglement. Along the way, he learns valuable lessons about life, love, and the complexities of human relationships. The novel is a charming and humorous tale that explores themes of class, identity, and the search for belonging.1915. English novelist, journalist, sociologist, and historian, famous for his works of science fiction, Wells's best-known books are The Time Machine, The Invisible Man and The War Of The Worlds. In Bealby a Holiday we are introduced to young Bealby who was determined he would not be a servant. So opposed was he to the very idea that he ranted and rallied against his mother and quite wore her down with his protests. Tantrums aside, the young boy had to accept his lot in life-at least for the time being. And so he was sent to Shonts, the big country house, to work as a steward's boy. But Bealby hadn't accounted for a host of guests arriving for the weekend, and certainly nothing in his short life had prepared him for the arrival of the eloquent, but totally eccentric Lord Chancellor. This was to be a position that Bealby would not soon forget.
