The Saliva Tree
Aldiss Brian
Brian Aldiss marked the
centenary year of H G Wells' birth with this ingenious novella
combining comedy, terror and, intriguingly, late nineteenth-century
period charm. In a sleepy East Anglian town we meet Bruce Fox and
Gregory Rolles - two young men who have sworn to Think Large in order to
distinguish themselves from the masses of Cottersall. When a meteor
lands in the pond of a local farm, Gregory seeks the advice of Mr Wells.
Nine short stories complete the collection, including the highly
autobiographical 'Girl and Robot With Flowers', which was taken up as a
seminal story demarcating the new SF from the old.
