SynopsisVolume 4--The Sea Lady & The Food of the Gods and How it Came to Earth For those who know anything of the most outstanding British authors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the name of Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) needs little introduction, for he wrote on many subjects. He is principally remembered as one of the 'Fathers of Science Fiction' and this six volume Leonaur collection focuses upon his writing in that genre--from the strange to the fantastical and scientifically prophetic--with which he will forever be associated. These wonderful and dramatic stories have been gathered together in these attractive, good value volumes in chronological order of original publication. Wells' fantasy 'The Sea Lady' (1901) concerns a mermaid intent on seducing a man she had seen in the southern oceans. 'The Food of the Gods and How it Came to Earth' (1904) tells of a group of scientists who invent a food which causes those who eat it to grow to six or seven times their normal size. Chickens, rats, plants and insects all eat the food with disturbing consequences. When human children also eat it events spiral towards disaster. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
