Author Index W	John Wyndham
Title Index T	Trouble with Lichen


Year	1960
Publisher	Penguin (Michael Joseph)
ISBN	0140019863

Synopsis	It was Diana Brackley who put the milk out for the cat; who dropped a speck of lichen in it by mistake; who noticed how the lichen stopped the milk turning. But it was Francis Saxover, the famous biochemist, who carried on from there; who developed Antigerone, the cure for ageing; who then tried to suppress a discovery which was certainly in the megaton range. And so it was Diana Brackley who went to town with Antigerone in one of John Wyndham's gayest and most satirical forays into the fantastic.

Review	'If even a tenth of science fiction were as good, we should be in clover' Kingsley Amis
