WELLS H.G.: (1866-1946) English writer, remembered for his science fiction novels. A.L.S., H. G. Wells, one page, 8vo, Spade House, Sandgate (Kent), 14th May 1904, to H. S. L. Polak. Wells writes, in full, ´I regret very much that I am unable to make any suggestions about your articles. I´m really quite an ostrich as regards journalism. All I know of the hunger (?) I get from Barrie´s book "When a Man´s Single" `. VG

Henry Polak (1882-1959) British-born lawyer, journalist and activist in South Africa who worked in collaboration with Mahatma Gandhi against racial discrimination. Polak served as an editor for the journal Indian Opinion and influenced Theosophy.

J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and playwright. His fictional work When a Man´s Single was published in 1888 and the characters within the book spend a great deal of time discussing the do's and don'ts of creative writing. Wells credited the book as teaching him how to write.
