The First Men in the Moon. H. G. Wells. London: George Newnes, Limited, 1901. Illustrations by Claude Shepperson. First British edition, first binding. The two first men, Bedford and Cavor are well-contrasted, the civilization of the Selenites is excellent both as horror and satire; and the novel abounds with wonderful passages of unforced description at which Wells is unrivaled… This lovely book also contains much of Wells’s delightful humor; it has kept the joints of his discourse oiled to this day. -- source link
