About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of Twelve Stories and a Dream by H. G. Wells. Read in English by volunteer readers. Thirteen short stories by HG Wells, the master of speculative fiction! Included in this collection is "Mr Skelmersdale in Fairyland" where a man finds his way into fairyland where a fairy queen tries to seduce him away from his human fiancée. In other stories a ghost gets stuck and can't get back to the "other side", a man decides to try being a god for a few months, a magic shop sells "the real thing", a scientist sells time in a bottle, a body is stolen (while its owner is still alive) and a man dreams or does he? (Summary by Beth Thomas)
