I’m pleased to announce the publication and availability of my new book: H. G. Wells in the Potteries: North Staffordshire and the genesis of The Time Machine (2017).

Plus a closely annotated edition of the Potteries short-story “The Cone”, and more. Lots of new discoveries, and the book should please Wellsians and Stokies alike.
Online bonus, an index for the book:
