Adapted and illustrated edition of The Time Machine at easy-to-read level for a new generation of readers aged 7+.

After failing to convince his friends that time travel is possible, a nineteenth-century scientist invents a machine that takes him hundreds of years into the future. There, humans have evolved into two different species: the Eloi are kind and gentle, but the Morlocks are monsters!

When the time machine is stolen, the traveller must risk death to find it – or face never returning to his own time.
