    About this audiobook

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.

    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?

    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.

    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.

    In this volume the century has turned, and the Imperial might of the British Empire swathes the world. It’s authors including such leviathans as Arthur Conan Doyle, H G Wells, John Galsworthy, Saki and many others are lauded not for might but for brilliant and incisive prose. Genius with every name.

    Author

    H. G. Wells

    Herbert George Wells (1866–1946) was born in Bromley, England, in 1866 to a working class family. His first novel, The Time Machine, was an instant success and Wells produced a series of science fiction novels which pioneered ideas about the future. His later work focused on satire and social criticism. Wells forecasted the rise of major cities and suburbs, economic globalization, and aspects of future military conflicts, though he did not predict the rise of women in the workplace.
