With an angel—a creature of fantasy unlike a religious angel—as protagonist and taking place in contemporary England, the book could be classified as contemporary fantasy, although the genre was not recognized in Wells's time. To unlock full episodes, ad-free listening, and more, please go to snoozecast.com/plus.
