"The Story of a Great Schoolmaster" by H. G. Wells is a biography published in 1924. It chronicles Frederick William Sanderson, headmaster of Oundle School and Wells's personal friend. Wells portrays Sanderson as an innovative educator and visionary thinker who believed schools could inspire broader social change through creativity, cooperation, and scientific inquiry. Originally commissioned to raise funds for the school, Wells withdrew from an official biography after disagreements and published his own tribute to the man he considered "the greatest" he'd ever known.
