If you read the blurb, you will see he wrote it twice. Once aged 16 and then he polished it up later.

The first edition of "The Carpet People" was published in 1971 and the re-write in 1992. While the second is definitely better, it probably owes something to the "Bromeliad" series.

The Bromeliad was brilliant. Must re-read once I get time....


ARGGGGHHHH!!!!!

Ah... must have read the later version. 16 eh? I guess I haven't lived up to the most fundamental stalker code.

I quite like Strata and the Dark Side of the Sun

Strata, yes, DSotS - umm not to my taste, I'm afraid.
