About this audiobook
In a dim antique shop in Seven Dials, Mr Cave stumbles upon a peculiar crystal egg. Beneath its polished surface lies a window to a distant world—a landscape of winged beings under two small moons. H.G. Wells’ brilliant tale quietly captures the wonder and solitude of peering across the void of space.
Read in a calm, soothing Scottish voice, this audio edition brings a gentle warmth to Wells’ eerie atmosphere. It also includes an extra chapter exploring Wells’ depictions of Mars, contextualising his famous red planet visions for the inquisitive listener.
