No home library is complete without the classics! H. G. Wells is a keepsake collection of the author's greatest work to be read and treasured.

He was the first to popularise the concept of time travel. He disturbed—and fascinated—us with a frightening doctor’s island. He wrote of an invisible man, of men on the moon, and of a war of the worlds. He has influenced countless other writers, artists, and even scientists. H. G. Wells is one of the most acclaimed science fiction writers who ever lived, and five of his classic tales are collected in this book for readers to treasure.

H. G. Wells includes The Time Machine, The Island of Dr Moreau, The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds, The First Men in the Moon, and The Food of the Gods. Readers new to this remarkable author will delight in these amazing stories, while fans of Wells will enjoy the insightful introduction by an expert on the author’s life and work. All will appreciate the leather cover, gilded edges, printed endpapers, ribbon bookmark, and other features of this unique gift book.

No library is complete without the works of H. G. Wells, the father of science fiction!
