Transcript:
Publisher: So, it's about an herb farmer and his tractor? H.G. Wells: Yes! The early version of H.G. Well's novel was greeted with disinterest by his publisher.
Goes well with Eloi gulash, quickly prepared in “The New Food Processor.” For dessert – “First Men in the Moon Pie.” And I’m surprised nobody mentioned “The Food of the Gods.” Probably served on a big Plattner.
does his publisher in the mid 1800’s have a telephone? sorry you all took the good puns, except to say that he must have been an ancsestor to simon or garfunkle: “parsley sage rosemary and thyme”
