Michael Sherborne is the former editor of The Wellsian and chairman of the H. G. Wells Society. Christopher Priest is the award-winning author of such novels as Inverted World, The Islanders, and The Prestige. He has been strongly influenced by the science fiction of H. G. Wells and in 2006 was appointed to the position of vice president of the H. G. Wells Society.
"Accessible to readers interested either in the roots of science
fiction/fantasy or in literary biography, but scholarly enough for
literature students as well." --Library Journal
"With access to heretofore-unpublished letters and a singular grasp
of Wells' genius, moxie, and failings, Sherborne is the first to
portray the protean, scandalous, world-changing writer in full."
--Booklist
