The History of Mr. Polly is a 1910 comic novel by H. G. Wells.

Alfred Polly is a quiet, timid and direction-less young man living in Victorian England, in the dreary and dull fictional town of Fishbourne. Polly enjoys reading books of knightly endeavours more than his job in a drapers shop, and eventually his daydreaming loses him his job and he finds himself heading into poverty.

He rebels in magnificent style and takes control of everything once and for all...
