'The Story of a Great Schoolmaster' is a biography of Frederick William Sanderson by H. G. Wells. It is the only biography Wells wrote. Sanderson was a personal friend, having met Wells when his sons George Philip and Frank Richard, became pupils at Oundle School, of which Sanderson was headmaster. After Sanderson died while giving a lecture at University College London at which he was introduced by Wells, the famous author agreed to help produce a biography to raise money for the school. But after disagreements emerged with Sanderson's widow about his approach to the subject, Wells withdrew from the official biography and published his own work separately.
