About this book

Best known now for his novels, Wells was also a superb writer of short stories, and this collection gathers the tales he most wanted to keep. In 'The Country of the Blind' a mountaineer stumbles into a hidden valley where sight has been forgotten and learns that the seeing man is not always king. Elsewhere a strange star blazes toward the earth and throws the whole planet into panic, a door opens onto an impossible garden a man can never find again, and an ordinary clerk is suddenly granted the power to work miracles. Wells moves easily between science fiction, fantasy, and quiet unease, always testing how people behave when the familiar world tilts. This free PDF and EPUB edition brings together more than thirty of his stories.
