About this listen

In his fiction, HG Wells explored various fantasy and science fiction sub-genres, from alien invasion narratives through time travel to dystopian tales. He was also an innovator and pioneer in matters of plot and style, as proven by the 33 short stories in The Country of the Blind and Other Stories. The tale of the title is about a mountaineer who discovers a secluded valley of blind people. When he tries to tell them about the sense of sight, they scoff and attribute it to an over-active imagination. All of the stories here had first been published in weekly and monthly periodicals. In his introduction to the book, Wells wrote that this collection covers "all the short stories by me that I care for any one to read again."
