A Honeymoon in Space: The Annotated Edition — A Pioneering 1901 Adventure Across the Solar System

Newlyweds tour the solar system in a private spaceship — a dazzling vision of space travel written two years before the Wright brothers left the ground.

An English lord and his American bride set off on the ultimate honeymoon: a voyage in their own gravity-defying vessel to the Moon, Mars, Venus, and beyond, discovering wonders and dangers on every world. Published in 1901, A Honeymoon in Space is a gem of proto-science-fiction from George Griffith — the forgotten rival whose scientific romances H. G. Wells reportedly envied.

This Annotated Edition includes the complete novel, an original introduction on Griffith and what 1901 imagined space travel would be, and notes for the modern reader.
