Herbert George "H. G." Wells (1866 - 1946) was an English writer, now best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a prolific writer in many other genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary, even writing textbooks and rules for war games. Wells was now considered to be one of the world's most important political thinkers and during the 1920s and 30s he was in great demand as a contributor to newspapers and journals.

Préface
From the late, great Sir Terry Wogan's Radio 2 breakfast show, this is volume 1 of the much-loved Janet & John stories.

So she watched me have a quick Singleton, then Scapa.'
See Janet chase John down the road. See John run.

For the last four years it was on air, 8 million listeners to BBC Radio 2's Wake Up To Wogan were beguiled and bewitched by the naughty but nice adventures of John and his wife Janet. As a favorite segment, the stories moved with Terry Wogan to his new Sunday morning show. In the style of children's stories of yesteryear, John gets up to all sorts. Then he tells Janet all about his day, by which time every perfectly innocent big end, back passage and stiff one acquires a whole new meaning...
