This book contains eight short stories written by H. G. Wells. A wonderful mixture of science fiction and fantasy, "The Door in the Wall, and Other Stories" constitutes a fantastic introduction to Wells' work and would make for a fantastic addition to any collection. The stories include: "A Door in The Wall", "The Star", "A Dream of Armageddon", "The Cone", "A Moonlight Fable", "The Diamond Maker", "The Lord of The Dynamos", and "The Country of The Blind". Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as "The Time Machine" (1895), "The Invisible Man" (1897), and "The War of the Worlds" (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. First published in 1911.
