Historia biográfica
H. G. Wells, novelist, was born in Bromley, Kent on 21 September 1866. After an apprenticeship as a draper, Wells won a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in South Kensington.
A prolific novelist, he is perhaps best remembered for his scientific romances beginning with The Time Machine (1895) and followed by The Wars of the Worlds (1898) about the invasion of earth by Martians. In 1934 he published Experiment in Autobiography. He died in London on 13 August 1946.
