The Flying man and other Stories includes some of the best short stories by H.Br>g Wells, the father of science fiction: ‘The land ironclads’, ‘the country of the blind’, ‘the door in the wall’, ‘the stolen Bacillus’, ‘the crystal egg’ and ‘the Red room’ besides many others. An extraordinary visionary and celebrated futurist, Wells foresaw inventions and presented fantastic apocalyptic imageries that continue to enthral readers. Shocking, awe-inspiring, dark, humorous, prophetic and bordering on the magical, Wells packed in a variety of flavours within the short-story format.

H.G. Wells

Herbert George Wells was born at Atlas House, 162 High Street in Bromley, Kent,[13] on 21 September 1866.[4] Called \"Bertie\" in the family, he was the fourth and last child of Joseph Wells (a former domestic gardener, and at the time a shopkeeper and professional cricketer) and his wife, Sarah Neal (a former domestic servant). An inheritance had allowed the family to acquire a shop in which they sold china and sporting goods, although it failed to prosper: the stock was old and worn out, and the location was poor. Joseph Wells managed to earn a meagre income, but little of it came from the shop and he received an unsteady amount of money from playing professional cricket for the Kent county team.[14] Payment for skilled bowlers and batsmen came from voluntary donations afterwards, or from small payments from the clubs where matches were played.
