CHINDI, a network of independent authors based in Chichester, West Sussex,have put together a new book filled with festive short stories in time for Christmas, all with a Sussex Theme.
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the ideas explored in HG Wells’ novella, published in 1895, in which the Time Traveller moves forward to 802,701 AD. There he finds humanity has evolved into the Eloi and Morlocks, where the Eloi are small but leisured fruitarians and the Morlocks live below ground, carry out the workand have a different diet. Escaping the Morlocks, he travels millions of years into the future, where the environment no longer supports humanity.
Three books from the Time Travelling Diaries of the humorous and sometimes romantic adventures of a 21st century scientist, James Urquhart, and a Victorian Cambridge graduate, Elizabeth Bicester.
There are only two things you need to know about James and Elizabeth;
They both keep diaries.
They met each other at a cricket match at Hamgreen in 1873.
Oh and thirdly, they really haven’t a clue what is go on. They’d rather be at home snuggled up reading a book or watching telly.
I’ve also added notes on how I wrotes the books and people and places I have used.
