The article examines spatial relationships in Herbert George Wells’s short stories “The Door in the Wall” and “The Beautiful Suit” analyzing the semantic diversity of garden space in cultural, mythological and religious aspects as ‘garden-home’, ‘garden-paradise’ and ‘garden-universe’. This triadic model is determined by the motion of the protagonist wandering through space and leads to the creation of a concentric world picture determined by the archetype of the garden.
