Select Conversations with an Uncle
1895 short story collection by H. G. Wells
Select Conversations with an Uncle, published in 1895, was H. G. Wells's first literary publication in book form.[1] It consists of reports of twelve conversations between a fictional witty uncle[2] who has returned to London from South Africa with "a certain affluence," as well as two other conversations (one on aestheticism that takes place in a train, titled "A Misunderstood Artist," and another on physiognomy, titled "The Man with a Nose").
