Many people could be forgiven for thinking that concepts such as voyages into space, time travel, robots and extraterrestrials started in the nineteenth century with the works of Jules Verne, HG Wells and other science fiction pioneers. In truth, however, these ideas have far earlier origins, dating back a thousand years and more.For the purpose of this first volume we have started with Cicero's Dream of Scipio, written around 51BC, and our collection ends with Francis Godwin's The Man in the Moone, first published in 1638. Tales include:The Dream of Scipio by Cicero;Icaro-Menippus by Lucian of Samosata;True History (excerpt) by Lucian of Samosata;Urashima Taro - Traditional;The Ebony Horse - Traditional;The City of Brass - Traditional;The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter - Traditional;The Man in the Moone by Francis Godwin.For more on our fascinating early science fiction collection, why not visit www.firestonebooks.com
