The Country of the Blind by H.G. Wells

What happens when everyone around you believes something that isn't true, or when you are the one who sees the world differently?

This week we discuss H.G. Wells' classic short story The Country of the Blind. What begins as the discovery of an inaccessible mountain valley becomes a fascinating exploration of questioning assumptions, adapting to culture, the dangers of pride and one instance of how a proverb plays out. A fascinating story!
