What Our Customers Say...
Description

'Pearson's Magazine' was a popular periodical which published speculative fiction, socialist politics, and essays on the arts. It's notable for serializing 'The War of the Worlds' in 1897.
This issue includes 'The Voice of Love' by Walter Besant and W. H. Pollock, 'The Bravest Deed I Ever Saw' by Archibald Forbes, 'The Vigil of Count Amadeo' by Anthony Hope, 'Secrets of the Courts of Europe' by Allen Upward, 'First Attempts at Photography' by A. W., and more.
