“…slowly uncoiling their tentacles…and making a soft purring sound to
each other.” This is a disgusting account of a school of giant squid
attacking a seaside resort, and two other examples of Wells’ extraordinary
imagination at work – ‘The Magic Shop’ and ‘The Land Ironclads’. This is
one of 46 new books in the best-selling Little Black Classics series, to
celebrate the first ever Penguin Classic in 1946. Each book gives readers a
taste of the Classics’ huge range and diversity, with works from around the
world and across the centuries – including fables, decadence, heartbreak,
tall tales, satire, ghosts, battles and elephants.
