  3. I’ve been trying to track down some space exploration stories that I read some time before 1968 (!) that I am fairly sure were by a British author. I discovered that John Wyndham [Parkes Lucas Beynon Harris] wrote several before WWII and I recently came across copies of some;one of the better known is “Stowaway to Mars”.
    Wyndham seems to have changed his style radically after WWII – to great effect in my opinion – but I wonder if anyone has tracked down any more of his earlier stuff. He seems to have used quite a few pen-names, often permutations of his own (lengthy) name.
