Publisher's summary

The Time Machine, perhaps Wells' best known work, tells the story of the first time traveler. In the distant future, the human race has evolved into two beings: the gentle Eloi and their dreaded cousins, the Morlocks, masters of the underworld. Ralph Cosham's performance is possibly the best narration ever of this science-fiction classic.

Five great stories featuring Wells at his best, delving into fantastic and strange worlds. Included are "The Door in the Wall", a haunting classic capturing the pathos of lost youth; "Aepyornis Island", the story of a prehistoric bird; "The Purple Pileus" involves a life-altering fungus; "The Truth About Pyecraft", the delightful tale of a man who must wear lead underwear; and "The Strange Orchid", which tells of the macabre appetite of an exotic plant.

Herbert George Wells was born on September 21, 1866, in the lower-middle-class environs of Bromley, Kent. At the time of his death on August 13, 1946, he had nearly a hundred books to his credit, many of which set new standards for science fiction.

Jorge Luis Borges observed, nothing was more satisfying than his "narration of Some Atrocious Miracles."
