About this book

Little Men of Space is by Frank Belknap Long. A teaser line says the children were very young and that the crisis they were called upon to face would have driven most adults into a straitjacket. A man named Elwood sees the children coming home from the cottage doorway, shouting and rejoicing in the bright October sunlight. Eleven-year-old Melvin is the son of John Elwood, who in his son's eyes represented all the real values of life in so far as they could be translated into model locomotives and bridge-building sets.

A character called Tall-Thin, his parchment-dry face crinkling with rage, tells Rujit it is not the first time Rujit has questioned his wisdom and authority. Tall-Thin clicks off the beam, leaving Melvin still standing large-eyed and motionless against the wall. A caption headed YOUNG SCIENTIFIC AMERICA asks whether genius can be inherited and speaks of the youthful winner of the Seabury Medal, who modestly disclaimed.
