Mr Britling Sees It Through is an 1916 novel written by H. G. Wells. It tells the story of a renowned writer Mr Britling, his family and friends in the fictional village of Matching's Easy, Essex, at the start of the First World War. The book is broken into three sections: Matching's Easy At Ease, in which American visitor Mr Direck arrives at Britling's house in summer 1914; Matching's Easy At War, set in the first months of the war; and The Testament of Matching's Easy.
The book was one of the most popular novels in the UK during the war.[1] It gives 'a vivid evocation of the war as seen from the home front.'[2]
