About this listen

H.G. Wells’ The Magic Shop is a captivating short story that blends wonder, illusion, and an undercurrent of unease. In this enchanting yet unsettling tale, a father and his young son visit a peculiar magic shop, where the tricks and illusions seem more real than they should be. As they explore, the father realizes that the shop’s wonders defy the laws of physics, hinting at something truly supernatural. What starts as a whimsical adventure quickly transforms into an experience filled with mystery, curiosity, and an eerie sense of unease.

Narrated by Brett Carter, this audiobook brings Wells’ classic tale to life, immersing listeners in the Victorian-era setting and its surreal, dreamlike atmosphere. Perfect for fans of speculative fiction and early fantasy literature, The Magic Shop is a story that leaves readers questioning the boundary between illusion and reality.

Originally published in 1903, this classic short story remains a fascinating exploration of childhood wonder, skepticism, and the unknown.
