About the book

H. G. Wells's The Door in the Wall is a haunting short story about Lionel Wallace, a successful public figure who remembers discovering a mysterious green door in childhood. Beyond it lay a beautiful garden that seemed to offer happiness and belonging, but throughout his life the door reappears at moments when duty and ambition pull him elsewhere. The story explores memory, regret, imagination and the tension between worldly success and a lost ideal.
