    About this ebook

          Published in 1904, this collection of five of Wells’s most famous science fiction tales includes “The Crystal Egg,” in which a shop owner finds a strange crystal egg and is able to see Mars; “The Star,” in which the approach of a blazing comet forebodes worldwide catastrophes; “The Man Who Could Work Miracles,” a fantasy-comedy in which George McWhirter Fotheringay discovers he can have any wish he wants, only to cause cataclysmic destruction when he wishes to stops the earth’s rotation; and two novellas: “A Story of the Stone Age,” A Story of the Days to Come.”

      The short stories in this collection range from prehistoric times to the 22nd century and most are great reads. I loved Wells' take on the future, where we won't be reading books, just listening to phonographs; a miraculous road surface will be discovered which never needs repair, major streets will be up to 800 feet wide with lanes for each speed. But young couples will still need a chaperone along when courting.
