The Time Machine
This wonderful series is a quick way into a range of exciting stories. Each story is a shortened, dramatically illustrated version of the classic novel, which loses none of the strength and flavour of the original. This title tells the story of a Time Traveller who builds his own Time Machine and, to the disbelief of his friends, travels to the future world of AD802,701 a world which seems perfect at first, but hides a terrible secrets.

About the author
Pauline Francis
79 books24 followersI love books. I translated them when I lived in Africa – and I worked with them when I was a teacher and a librarian, but I never thought about writing them.
One day, about ten years ago, I decided to become a full-time writer.
My first books were for younger readers. In Drake’s Drummer Boy (1998), Will sails around the world with Sir Francis Drake; in Sam Stars at Shakespeare’s Globe (2006), Sam works with William Shakespeare.
As you can see, the sixteenth century fascinates me. A few years ago, I started to write for older readers, about people who faced very tough decisions in a world that was changing quickly: Lady Jane Grey, in Raven Queen; the lost colonists in A World Away; and the young Elizabeth in Traitor’s Kiss.
What is a typical writing day? I write very early in the morning in a coffee shop. Then I use my computer to re-write and to do my research at home in my study.
I am married with two grown-up children, and I live in Hertfordshire close to London and to Cambridge. I enjoy going to the cinema and the theatre – and anywhere where I can watch other people.
