'Bealby: A Holiday' (1915) by H. G. Wells is a lighthearted comic novel that departs from the author’s more familiar scientific romances to focus on childhood rebellion and adventure. The story centers on Bealby, the thirteen-year-old son of a gardener, who resists being placed in service at a large country estate and instead runs away after causing a series of comic disruptions. What follows is a succession of misadventures, mistaken identities, and encounters with eccentric adults, through which Bealby gains a measure of independence and self-awareness.
