The Hampdenshire Wonder

Gelesen von Phil Benson

(4,833 Sterne; 3 Bewertungen)

By the age of three, Victor Stott's intellectual powers exceed those of any known human. He is the Hampdenshire Wonder, son of an extraordinary cricketer, and a puzzle to all who come in contact with him. J. D. Beresford's early science fiction novel, written in style of his friend H. G. Wells, tells the story of the wonder's brief life and his influence on those who care for him. - Summary by Phil Benson (6 hr 46 min)

Sad

(4,5 Sterne)

The narrator did a great job. The story was interesting once you got past the dry cricket stuff, but I hate sad endings!

A shiny object whose value lies deep below the surface
