About the Author

Herbert George Wells was born on Septem -


ber 21, 1866 in Kent, England , the youngest of
three sons. His mother, a housemaid , began
teaching her son to read at the age of three ,

and little “Bertie” as his family called him ,
never stopped reading as he grew up. He read
anything he could get his young hands on .
A broken leg at the age of 7 kept Bertie in
bed for several months. To keep him occupied ,
his father brought home library books on as-
tronomy, biology, and botany. This started
Wells on a lifelong love of science , opening up
to him worlds he had never seen or heard of .
He later called that broken leg his “lucky mo -
ment ” in life.
Bertie didn’t have a good education because
that cost money, and his father barely made a
living. So, even though he was forced to leave
school and go to work at the age of 14, his love
of reading, his fascination with science, and
his determination to teach himself resulted in
a scholarship to the Royal College of Science
in London when he was 18. After graduation,
he began teaching science, and his first pub -
lished work was a Textbook of Biology .
H .G. Wells wanted to spend his time writ-
ing. Even though he had read mainly non-fic-
tion for years to gain what he called “useful
knowledge,” it was his fiction that brought
him worldwide fame and wealth.
Wells used his knowledge of science and his
imaginative genius to create his “scientific
fantasies” that would take readers to possible
future worlds in The Time Machine (1895),
The Island of Dr. Moreau (1896), The Invisible
Man (1897), The War of the Worlds (1898), and
The First Men in th& Moon (1901).

Struggling through the Storm


Chapter 1

A Mysterious Bandaged Stranger

It was a snowy February night when a


stranger got off the train at Bramblehurst rail-
way station in the southern part of England.
A large-brimmed hat and long black coat cov-
ered him from head to foot, but they barely
protected him from the biting wind and heavy
snow that piled up on him and on the small
black suitcase he was carrying in his gloved
hands.
There were no carriages at the station, and
the man was forced to struggle through the
storm on foot for several hours to reach his

destination the small village of Iping.
Flinging open the door of the Coach and
Horses Inn, the exhausted stranger staggered
inside, more dead than alive. Keeping his head
down on his chest , the man gasped , “A room
and a fire! And hurry, please!”
“I’m Mrs. Hall, the innkeeper here,” said a
woman coming out from behind the bar. “If
you’ll just follow me upstairs, sir, I’ll show you
to a room ”
The stranger kept his back to Mrs. Hall as
they negotiated a price for his room and meals.
Then , after lighting a fire in the fireplace for
the man , Mrs. Hall went downstairs to pre-
pare a meal for him .
By the time she returned with a tray of hot
food , the fire was burning brightly, making the
room warm and comfortable. The stranger,
however, still wore his coat, hat, and gloves as
he stood at the window, staring out at the
storm.
“ The snow from your coat and hat is melting

on my carpet, sir,” said Mrs. Hall. “May I take
them and dry them in the kitchen?”
“No!” snapped the man, finally turning to
face her. “I prefer to keep them on.”
At that moment, Mrs. Hall got her first real
look at the man. Below the wide brim of the
hat were big blue glasses that wrapped around
the front and sides of his eyes. A bushy beard
and sideburns came down over his coat collar,
completely hiding his cheeks and chin.
‘Very well,” she said and left the room.
Upon her return to the kitchen, she discov-
ered that she had forgotten the mustard for
the man’s meat, so she put it on a tray and
went back upstairs with it.
She knocked once, then immediately opened
the door. Her sudden appearance surprised
the man , and all she saw was a flash of white
as he ducked under the table.
“I suppose I can take these now, sir?” she
asked , pointing to the overcoat and hat on a
chair in front of the fire.

self. “What a scare those bandages gave me!
And he must’ve hurt his mouth too, the way he
was talkin’ through the napkin. Poor soul!”
Once the stranger had finished his meal, he
settled himself in an armchair in front of the
fire and lit his pipe . Knowing that Mrs. Hall
would be returning to pick up the tray, he
wrapped the scarf loosely around the lower
part of his face , leaving room for the stem of
the pipe to reach his lips.
When the woman knocked and entered a
while later, she found that the food and drink
and warmth had changed the stranger’s mood
as he spoke to her more politely than before.
“I have some luggage at Bramblehurst sta -
tion , Mrs. Hall. How can I have it brought
here?”
“My husband will be back later tonight with
our horse and cart. He can get it for you to -
morrow,”
“Isn’t there anyone who can go tonight?”
“ Not and risk an accident on the steep roads
