More About The Product
A second H.G. Wells omnibus collecting four classic SF tales, from the author of THE WAR OF THE WORLDS and THE TIME MACHINE
H.G. Wells was born in Bromley, Kent in 1866. After working as a draper's apprentice and pupil-teacher, he won a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in 1884, studying under T.H. Huxley. It was with THE TIME MACHINE (1895) that he had his real breakthrough. Today he is regarded as one of the all-time greatest authors of science fiction.
