The Chronic Argonauts, and The Fight in the Lion's Thicket (Esprios Classics) H G Wells

"The Chronic Argonauts" is an 1888 short story by the British science-fiction writer H. G. Wells. It features an inventor who builds a time machine and travels in time using it, and it pre-dates Wells's best-selling 1895 time travel novel The Time Machine by seven years. "The Chronic Argonauts" was written in serial parts while Wells was ill and staying with friends in Stoke-on-Trent, from early April to early July 1888. It was published in the April, May, and June 1888 issues of the Royal College of Science student magazine The Science Schools Journal.
