Herbert George Wells lived from 1866 to 1946, and saw the world change on a scale like never before. A forward-thinking social critic, he wrote a number of utopian works and foresaw the advent of aircraft, space travel, nuclear weapons, and the world wide web.
He was known for placing commonplace detail alongside a single extraordinary assumption in each work. This method was dubbed "Wells' Law". His most notable works include The Invisible Man, The Time Machine, The Island of Dr. Moreau, and The War of the Worlds.
Today's story contains the commonplace details surrounding a hunt for buried treasure. What do you see as the single extraordinary assumption?
And now, The Treasure in the Forest, by H.G. Wells.
