Status Updates From The Hampdenshire Wonder

I love this book. This could end up a HUGE favourite. I can barely believe that this comes from 1911; I know H. G. Wells had shown the way…but Wells never wrote this. Maybe he could have; I mean, I am having the profound reaction that I had when I read The Food of the Gods, not long ago. The only thing that would make this more impressive would be if it came from the Victorian era, but it’s too radical for that.

Well, I'm well past the highlights (and lowlights) of the father's Cricket career, and into the main story. Victor's birth has been described, and he came into the world as a "freak", not expected to survive. I'm curious about this big brain of his; he's quiet, so far. Anyway, I did like Goslings, even with its problems, and this one seems like it might be better.

Visiting the Radium Age of SF again, and a super-intelligent kid.
