In addition to those spectacular accounts, Stories of the Stone Age are included as an extra bonus. These stories appear exactly as they did in the illustrated magazines that were prevalent in the early 1900s. This collection of Well's most famous science fiction breathes new life into these already thrilling stories, some of which have not been seen in decades. Wells published his first science-fiction novel in 1895 to widespread acclaim. This illustrated, hardcover collection makes the perfect gift for any science fiction reader and lover of literature.

About the Author
Herbert George "H.G." Wells (1866-1946) was a prolific English writer best known for his science-fiction novels. His most notable works of science fiction include The Time Machine, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and The War of the Worlds. While he was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature four times, his novels were never selected for that top literary honor. Regardless, they remain timeless pieces of science fiction.
