A Christmas Dinner with the Man in the MoonRon Miller
Now with an Historical Afterword by Ron MillerIncludes the original illustrations
Featured in Ron Miller’s “The Conquest of Space Book Series.” Washington Gladden was a noted clergyman, theologian and social reformer whose many books on these subjects were highly respected. It may have come as a surprise to his admirers to find this delightful fantasy, first published in a children's magazine in 1880. And although Gladden was writing with tongue clearly in cheek, he displays a good knowledge of and appreciation for technology, science and astronomy. Indeed, this story contains one of the first mentions of the need of a life support system for lunar explorers.
