I could dig out some works of 1950's scifi that my former head of chemistry gave me, but that would be going too far. So I'm just going to say
GO WHITEFISH!
and leave it at that.

What makes this case rarer is that the child has been brought into Casualty by a man I immediately recognised as the poet EL Wallace, but who gives his name as plain Edward Lennox.

Is googling allowed? There's not even a vague tinkle of a bell at this end...

I tend to struggle blindly on until at 50% of the way through, then return at a much later date and start again and finish it.
True with the silmarillion, and true with the book that shalt not be named.

I got irritated by The Stars' Tennis Balls, partially because of my tendency to read myself into the character, and partially because all would have been well if it wasn't for the fact that he screwed up and put the story in his own paper.
You're the first person I've come across who has read it though. That's something to be said.

Sounds like 51st State but I don't think that's right, would probably be 'The Lizard' rather than 'Mr. Lizard'. Either that or it's some weird ass kids programme I've never even heard of.
