The Sea Lady
 The Sea Lady is a fantasy novel written by H. G. Wells that has some of the aspects of a fable. It was serialized from July to December 1901 in Pearson's Magazine before being published as a volume by Methuen. The inspiration for the novel was Wells's glimpse of May Nisbet the daughter of the Times drama critic in a bathing suit when she came to visit at Sandgate Wells having agreed to pay her school fees after her father's death.
