Summary

Summary

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 thirteen 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 Dream of Armageddon” – read by Greg Wagland
“The Sea Raiders” – read by Nigel Patterson
“In the Avu Observatory” – read by Malk Williams
“The Plattner Story” – read by Liam Gerrard
“The Stolen Bacillus” – read by Tim Bruce
“Aepyornis Island” – read by James Gillies
“The Purple Pileus” – read by Helen Lloyd
“The Flowering of a Strange Orchid” – read by Greg Wagland
“The Moth” – read by Nigel Patterson
“The Crystal Egg” – read by Malk Williams
“The Triumphs of a Taxidermist” – read by Liam Gerrard
“The Obliterated Man” – read by Tim Bruce
“The Story of the Inexperienced Ghost” – read by James Gillies

Warning: “Aepyornis Island” includes words which, though in common usage at the time it was written, may now cause offence.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Raconteurs Audio LLP in conjunction with publisher Spoken Realms has produced three volumes of H.G. Wells’ short stories—hours upon hours—and I’m happy to report all with excellent result. The pacing is excellent throughout, as is the choice of stories. While many of these titles have been widely available for a long time by various other voices, this is a particularly welcome constellation. The individual performances throughout are nuanced and suitably dramatic but with no overacting. The talent pool includes BAFTA nominees, award-winning narrators, established voice-over artists and actors, as well as ITV and BBC personalities and documentarians…Definitely worth your time.” Charles Keller of the H. G. Wells Society
