Travel into the future in this abridged retelling of The Time
Machine, part of the bestselling Classic Starts® series that has
sold more than 8 million copies! After inventing a time machine,
the Traveler leaves Victorian London and goes far, far into the
future. At first, the world he discovers seems peaceful and
prosperous. But as he looks farther below the surface, he realizes
that things are not exactly as they first appeared. . . . This
abridged retelling is the perfect way to introduce young readers to
the imaginative world of science fiction and time travel.
Bealby is a young boy who is absolutely determined not to accept
his lot in life as a servant. However, despite having thrown
tantrums and argued with his mother about his future he has not
been able to change his fate. He reluctantly leaves his home for
Shonts, a big country house, to work as a steward's boy. What he
hasn't anticipated, howver, are the guests that are arriving for
the weekend at the big house, or for the arrival of the eccentric
but captivating Lord Chancellor. What follows is an adventure that
Bealby will not soon forget. Although better known for his science
fiction stories, such as The Time Machine or The War of the Worlds
- both of which have been turned into successful films - H. G.
Wells was also a journalist, sociologist and historian and wrote
over a hundred books, about fifty of them novels. First published
in 1915 Bealby was originally entitled Bealby a Holiday.
