This week, we're starting a classic science fiction novel, "The First Men in the Moon" by H.G. Wells. It's not as well-known as Wells' other works, but it's equally important. This book seems to be inspired by Jules Verne's "From the Earth to the Moon" and is believed to contain the first depiction of 'the alien hive mind'. Many science fiction stories have been influenced by and paid homage to this tale.You can support the channel via our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thewelltoldtaleBooks - (buying books from our Bookshop.org shop helps support this channel while also supporting local bookshops, at no cost to you):Books by our favourite authors - https://uk.bookshop.org/lists/the-well-told-taleBuy The First Men in the Moonhttps://uk.bookshop.org/a/9522/9781473218000Other Books by H.G.
