Part of the Macmillan Collectors Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition of The Time Machine features an introduction by Dr Mark Bould.

The Time Traveller finds himself in a verdant, seemingly idyllic landscape where he is greeted by the diminutive Eloi people. The Eloi are beautiful but weak and indolent, and the explorer is perplexed by their fear of the dark. He soon discovers the reason for their fear - the Eloi are not the only race to have inherited the earth. When his time machine disappears, the Time Traveller must descend alone into the subterranean tunnels of the Morlocks - a terrifying, carnivorous people who toil in darkness - to reclaim it.

About H. G. Wells

Herbert George Wells the son of a shopkeeper and a lady's maid was born in Kent in 1866. A bookish child his education was interrupted when he served a brief and gruelling apprenticeship to a draper. But Wells then went on to study biology under the great T. H. Huxley before finding instant literary success in 1895 with the publication of his first 'scientific romance' The Time Machine. This was followed in quick succession by The Island of Dr Moreau The Invisible Man and The War of the Worlds. A visionary and lifelong socialist Wells also wrote extensively on social issues history and science. He died in 1946.
