On a snowy February day a stranger arrives at the inn of the little Sussex village of Iping. He is wrapped from head to foot, his face hidden by bandages, goggles and a false nose, and he wants only to be left alone with his bottles of chemicals. The villagers grow curious, and then frightened, when they find out what is under the bandages: nothing at all. H. G. Wells's 1897 novel is about a scientist who discovers how to become invisible and cannot find his way back.
