<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Perhaps the first science fiction tale written in the English language, <i>The Man in the Moone, </i> written by Francis Godwin, was an influential work first published in 1638. <p>In this version, edited for Firestone Books, the spelling and punctuation have been modernized, and some minor amendments have been made. There is also a short introduction giving some context to the story, and there is also a useful glossary explaining archaic and obscure words. <p>In this fanciful tale the narrator, Domingo Gonsales, tells how he used a flock of birds to take him to the Moon. Here he discovers that the citizens of the Moon are Christians who live in a Utopian paradise. <p>Firestone Books also has a separate collection <i>The Man in the Moone and Other Early Science Fiction Tales</i> - a fantastic collection dating back millennia.<p>
