Later described as ""the lost giant of American science fiction,"" Edward Page Mitchell wrote many science fiction and fantasy short stories, nearly all of which were published anonymously in the The Sun daily newspaper of New York. Mitchell was editor-in-chief of The Sun and was a member of the Pulitzer Prize Board for many years. Mitchell introduced many technological and social predictions which were daring for the time, prior to similar predictions by famous authors, such as travel by pneumatic tube, electrical heating, newspapers printed in the home by electrical transmission, food-pellet concentrates, international broadcasts, suspended animation of a living human being through freezing, a man rendered invisible by scientific means, a time-travel machine, faster-than-light travel, a thinking computer, a cyborg, matter transmission or teleportation. His fantasy stories dabble with the occult and bizarre, involving ghosts, the Devil, masochism, inanimate objects coming to life, and more.

This carefully selected collection features classic works of fiction that explore the recurrent theme of time travel. In “The Clock that Went Backward”, a mysterious clock sends two cousins three hundred years back in time to play a vital role in a battle during the Eighty Years’ War. In H. G. Wells’ satirical novella, the time machine takes its inventor to a futuristic world, where humans have evolved into two distinct species: the Eloi and the Morlocks. The tale that ensues is a political commentary on Victorian England. Finally, in “A Christmas Carol”, Scrooge is forced to confront his future as part of a journey of personal redemption.   The book includes 18 illustrations and the following engaging works: • The Time Machine (1895) • The Clock that Went Backward (1881) • A Christmas Carol (1843)
