Infos

He was a pale-faced little man, with dark eyes and a fine and very black moustache. He had a very stiff, upright collar slightly frayed, that gave him an illusory double chin, and his overcoat (albeit shabby) was trimmed with astrachan. His gloves were a bright brown with black stripes over the knuckles, and split at the finger ends. His appearance, his wife had said once in the dear, dead days beyond recall-before he married her, that is-was military. But now she called him-it seems a dreadful thing to tell of between husband and wife, but she called him 'a little grub.' It wasn't the only thing she had called him, either.

We journey into the tumultuous life of Mr. Coombes, a disheartened shopkeeper trapped in domestic discontent. When he stumbles upon a peculiar purple mushroom, its transformative effects awaken a newfound audacity. Brimming with humor and absurdity, Wells deftly explores themes of liberation and self-discovery, as Coombes embraces a surreal escape from the shackles of his ordinary existence.
