This is a compilation of thirteen stories by H.G. Wells, the well-known author of The Time Machine, War of the Worlds, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and The Invisible Man.
All of the stories in tihs volume follow a simple and classic pattern: Exposition, conflict, resolution. Because of the short story format, there is not much room for complication or denouement, so these stories by nature are simpler than some of Wells' other work.
