"The Stolen Bacillus and Other Incidents" is a collection of short stories written by H. G. Wells, first published in 1895. Containing 15 intriguing tales by the master of the short story form, this collection constitutes a must-read for fans of H. G. Wells' work and classic science fiction alike. The stories include: "The Stolen Bacillus", "The Flowering Of The Strange Orchid", "In The Avu Observatory", "The Triumphs Of A Taxidermist", "A Deal In Ostriches", "Through A Window", "The Temptation Of Harringay", "The Flying Man", "The Diamond Maker", "Aepyornis Island", "The Remarkable Case Of Davidson's Eyes", and more. Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as "The Time Machine" (1895), "The Invisible Man" (1897), and "The War of the Worlds" (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
