WELLS, H.G. Tales of Space and Time, New York: Doubleday & McClure, 1899.

FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. Published in the same year as the first English edition. Small octavo. Original burgundy cloth, decoratively blind-stamped to both boards and lettered in gilt to the spine.

Contents clean and bright, with wide margins and no markings. Binding sound and secure, with light rubbing at extremities and minor fraying at spine’s crown; corners gently bumped.

Issued during the emergence of modern Science Fiction, Tales of Space and Time is an important collection of Wells’s shorter scientific romances. It includes several of the author’s most imaginative early works: The Crystal Egg, The Star, A Story of the Stone Age, A Story of the Days to Come, and The Man Who Could Work Miracles. This collection reflects the breadth of Wells’s speculative vision across science fiction, fantasy, evolutionary thought, and social imagination at the turn of the twentieth century.
