The First Men in the Moon is a scientific romance published in 1901 by the English author H. G. Wells, who called it one of his "fantastic stories". The novel tells the story of a journey to the moon undertaken by the two protagonists, a businessman narrator, Mr. Bedford, and an eccentric scientist, Mr. Cavor. Bedford and Cavor discover that the moon is inhabited by a sophisticated extraterrestrial civilization of insect-like creatures they call "Selenites".

Very nice Rick. I enjoy BBC Sci Fi dramatizations almost as much as Louis L'Amour westerns. Thanks!

  You are welcome. I didn't know that this one existed until Star Eater asked me if I had it because he was looking for it. I went to usenet to look and this is what I found. ----------------------------------------- R
