In support of the Folkestone Book Festival the Neville Pundole Gallery has specially commissioned pieces by several artists, inspired by the works of H. G. Wells. The exhibition is comprised of works in Pottery, Glass and Paint; all drawing their influence from not only Wells' more famous works such as "The War of the Worlds" and "The Time Machine", but also "The Sea Lady… a Tissue of Moonshine" which Wells wrote whilst living in Folkestone.
