Bibliography
This a comparatively complete bibliography of the
works of H.G. Wells, by genre, and in chronolgical order, copied from Wikipedia.
I have marked all the titles in my collection - most of which I
have owned since I was about eleven years old, and transported around
the world with me. It wa the reading of The Time Machine
that set me on a life-long addiction to science fiction (or speculative
fiction, a term that I prefer). I will never forget that when I
heard that H.G. Wells had died (in 1946) I actually cried! Robert
Silverberg had mentioned in one of his postings that he too had read The Time Machine
when he was about ten.
