Raconteurs Audio and Spoken Realms team up once again to bring this second collection of short stories by H. G. Wells to audio. Written between 1894 and 1902, this anthology of 13 stories delves into botany, flying machines, travel, distant lands and customs, virology, magic, taxidermy, journalism - and there’s even a ghost story.

The collection contains:

• “The Sea Raiders” - read by Nigel Patterson
• “In the Avu Observatory” - read by Malk Williams
• “The Plattner Story” - read by Liam Gerrard

Warning: “Aepyornis Island” includes words that, though in common usage at the time, may now cause offense.
