The War Of The Worlds
Penguin 1st Edition, published 1946.
The night after a shooting star is seen streaking across the sky, a cylinder is discovered on Horsell Common. Fascinated and exhilarated, the local people approach the mysterious object armed with nothing more than a white flag. But when gruesome alien creatures emerge armed with all-destroying heat-rays, their rashness turns rapidly to fear. As the rays blaze towards them, it soon becomes clear they have no choice but to flee - or die.
Condition grading: Good. Some damage to left edge of rear cover. Wear to grubby spine. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
