H G Wells
(Herbert George Wells)
(1866 - 1946)aka Reginald Bliss
The son of a professional cricketer and a lady's maid, H. G. Wells served apprenticeships as a draper and a chemist's assistant before winning a scholarship to the prestigious Normal School of Science in London. While he is best remembered for his groundbreaking science fiction novels, including The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man, and The Island of Doctor Moreau, Wells also wrote extensively on politics and social matters and was one of the foremost public intellectuals of his day.
