The Book: The Time Machine and Other Stories by Herbert George (H.G.) Wells. The edition read was published in 1969 (copyright 1963) by Scholastic Book Services.
The Stories:
“The Man Who Could Work Miracles”
The Evaluation: Worth having! Wells does well with short stories. Cute ideas, fun stories, don’t go on too long. Altogether enjoyable.
The Cover: Relevant only to “The Time Machine.” From its post:
Oh the cover! Clearly, it is the Time Traveler in his time machine. But what is going on? Why is there a giant spoon behind him? Why does it appear to have been colored in by a nine year old with access to only five crayons? The world may never know. Full points for relevance. Points off for limited crayon selection.
