The Fight in the Lion's Thicket - Wells H. G.

This is H. G. Wells' 1887 novella, "The Fight in the Lion's Thicket". An intriguing page-turner, this short story is highly recommended for all lovers of the form and is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Wells' wonderful work. Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as "The Time Machine" (1895), "The Invisible Man" (1897), and "The War of the Worlds" (1898). "The Father of Science Fiction" was also a staunch socialist, and his later works are increasingly political and didactic. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
