'And so, in a trice, he came into the garden that has haunted all his life.' H.G. Wells was a pioneer of science fiction, its first and greatest influence. Here his boundless invention creates three very stories: a poignant parable of a mysterious door, a thrilling account of be-tentacled sea creatures and the darkly comic chronicle of an academic rivalry taken too far . . . This book includes The Door in the Wall (1906), The Sea Raiders (1896) and The Moth(1895).
