About The Author

H.G. Wells

H. G. Wells

H.G. Wells was a professional writer and journalist who published more than a hundred books, including pioneering science fiction novels, histories, essays, and programmes for world regeneration. He was a founding member of numerous movements, including Liberty and PEN International, and his Rights of Man laid the groundwork for the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Wells’ controversial and progressive views on equality and the shape of a truly developed nation remain directly relevant to our world today. He was, in Bertrand Russell’s words, ‘an important liberator of thought and action.’

Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman is the bestselling author of Coraline and Stardust, both of which are major motion films. Neil also co-wrote the script for Beowulf, starring Anthony Hopkins and Angelina Jolie. He is the creator/writer of the award-winning Sandman comic series and has written several books for children.
