A DREAM OF ARMAGEDDON

"It is distinctly into another world of fancy and humor that the reader steps when he turns the title-page of 'Twelve Stories and a Dream' and finds himself held by the spell of Mr. Wells's wonderful imagination. . . . Each tale shows Mr. Wells in a mood that is wholly his own, and they each give expression to a diverse fancy that displays exceptional literary skill and ingenuity."—Boston Transcript.

"Mr. Wells's technique is admirable, and one scarcely recalls a better-handled absurdity than ' The Truth About Pyecraft.'"—Life.

"All are written with an effectiveness and skill that are beyond criticism."—New York Times Review.

"Each of these stories is unique and thoroughly enjoyable."—Boston Herald.
