Abstract

Although Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) also wrote in other genres such as history and politics, he is best known as a writer of Science Fiction (SF). In 2004, The Folio Society published three of his best known SF novels: The Time Machine (1895), The Invisible Man (1897) and War of the Worlds (1898). Started by Charles Ede in 1947, the Folio Society is known for producing attractively illustrated and bound editions of classic works, as these three adequately demonstrate. Through donations and purchases of Science Fiction material, Special Collections at Otago is fast becoming a major player in Science Fiction holdings in New Zealand.
