This pitch-perfect tale of a Mr. Hoopdriver, who undertakes a bicycling tour of the English countryside, has to be one of the most charming light novels ever written.
Mr. Hoopdriver's holiday from his job as a draper's assistant (a job H.G. Wells himself held in his youth) becomes a kind of lighthearted spiritual quest.
Mr. Hoopdriver is a draper's assistant, a badly-paid, grinding position on the bottom fringes of the middle class—and yet he owns a bicycle and is just setting out on a bicycling tour for his annual ten-days holiday.
Not far along, Hoopdriver encounters a pretty young woman (Jessie Milton) cycling alone and wearing rationals (bloomers). Modern readers, to whom a woman cycling alone (wearing a tank top and lycra shorts) is nothing unusual or even especially interesting, cannot appreciate the titillating shock this picture must have given Wells's readers.
Here in one image was all the freedom, all the danger and all the sexual excitement inherent in the new freedom of the bicycle.
The rebellious Jessie Milton whose daring elopement with a much older man has gone disastrously awry, is a proto-feminist.
Can Mr. Hoopdriver save her? Can Jessie salvage her reputation?
These questions are answered in a tale which combines glorious descriptions of the pastoral England of a century ago with uproarious scenes of early bicycling and bicyclists.
The tale has many interesting insights into the "proper" behavior of a British socialite.
"The Wheels of Chance" is brief, easy-to-follow, and highly memorable. Indeed, it is surprising that this fast-moving, picaresque novel has never been filmed.
In addition to being extraordinarily entertaining, "The Wheels of Chance" can also serve as an ideal introduction to the "other" novels of the man so many of us think of simply as a "science fiction writer."
And the best fact of all is that, if the reader enjoys "The Wheels of Chance," there is a huge wealth of Wells fiction available for further enjoyment.
