H. G. Wells; A. C. GraylingLove & Mr Lewisham June 1, 2011 Orion Publishing 2011 0297860445 / 9780297860440 Hardcover New Ships in 10-14 Days- After Release A thought-provoking romantic read, partly autobiographical, showing H.G. Wells at his refreshingly different best Mr. Lewisham, a young and highly ambitious schoolmaster, falls in love with Ethel Henderson, a young lady visiting his Sussex village. When Ethel returns to London they promise to keep in touch but as time passes their letters go astray. A few years later, having searched in vain for Ethel and now a student at the Normal School of Science in London, Mr. Lewisham's life revolves around study and a flirtation with fellow student Alice. But just as things are all set with Alice, he runs into Ethel at a seance he has attended out of curiosity. There he realizes that Ethel is the niece of a charlatan "medium," and closely involved in his dealings. His memories of their time in Sussex wrestle in his mind with his feelings of disgust for all things spiritual, as his love for Ethel forces him to reconsider his political and scientific beliefs. 9780297860440 0.00 Price:

H. G. WellsThe Crystal Egg Aegypan 01/10/2006 1598184520 / 9781598184525 Paperback New Ships in 10-14 Day - Subject to Availability From "The Crystal Egg": There was, until a year ago, a little and very grimy-looking shop near Seven Dials over which, in weather-worn yellow lettering, the name of "C. Cave, Naturalist and Dealer in Antiquities," was inscribed. The contents of its window were curiously variegated. They comprised some elephant tusks and an imperfect set of chessmen, beads and weapons, a box of eyes, two skulls of tigers and one human, several moth-eaten stuffed monkeys (one holding a lamp), an old-fashioned cabinet, a flyblown ostrich egg or so, some fishing-tackle, and an extraordinarily dirty, empty glass fish tank. There was also, at the moment the story begins, a mass of crystal, worked into the shape of an egg and brilliantly polished. The clergyman, without any ceremony, asked the price of the crystal egg. "Five pounds is my price," said Mr. Cave, with a quiver in his voice. * Also included in this volume are Wells's "The Man Who Could Work Miracles," "The Plattner Story," "The Strange Orchid," "The New Accelerator," "The Diamond Maker," "The Apple," and "The Purple Pileus." 9781598184525 0.00 Price:

H.G. Wells & Herbert George WellsThe Time Machine Megalodon Entertainment LLC. 28/04/2010 1615890084 / 9781615890088 Paperback New Ships in 10-14 Day - Subject to Availability Grades 4-7--The St. Charles Players perform this readers' theatre-style rendition of H.G. Wells' classic story. Using appropriate sound effects and alternating readers allows listeners to differentiate between characters and to develop a sense of place and time. The lively narration will hold listeners' attention from beginning to end. The story begins with a revolutionary Victorian scientist who claims to have invented a machine that allows him to travel through time. Using flashbacks, he recounts his adventures in the futurist world he visits in his time machine to a group of skeptical friends. This abridged version will work well as an introduction to classic literature in elementary grade classes, but omits too much of the original text for older students. Consider adding this title to audiobook collections that focus on classic, time-tested literature. Sarah Prielipp, Chippewa River District Library System, Mt Pleasant, MI. 9781615890088 0.00 Price:

H G WellsThe War in the Air Echo Library 10/01/2006 1846375118 / 9781846375118 Paperback New Ships in 10-14 Day - Subject to Availability This thrilling tale is H. G. Wells at his modernist, visionary best. In 1907, a naive Londoner named Bert Smallways finds himself an unwitting passenger on a fleet of German airships heading over the Atlantic to attack New York. What unfolds in characteristically Wellsian fashion is a clash of early flying machines that leaves Gotham in shambles and unleashes the terrible age of Total War. Uncannily relevant to our own era, The War in the Air remains a cornerstone of early science fiction. 9781846375118 0.00 Price:
