- Now with an Historical Afterword by Ron Miller
- Includes the original illustrations
Featured in Ron Miller’s “The Conquest of Space Book Series.” Washington Gladden was a noted clergyman, theologian and social reformer whose many books on these subjects were highly respected. It may have come as a surprise to his admirers to find this delightful fantasy, first published in a children's magazine in 1880. And although Gladden was writing with tongue clearly in cheek, he displays a good knowledge of and appreciation for technology, science and astronomy. Indeed, this story contains one of the first mentions of the need of a life support system for lunar explorers.
At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
