Reader's note

A wonderful copy of H. G. Wells’ The Food of the Gods. Two Scientists Mr. Bensington and Professor Redwood develop a substance, initially dubbed “The Food of the Gods”, as a growth accelerator intended to increase food production. There are unforeseen consequences however as the farmers who own the farm where the experiments are taking place accidently the chemical enter the food chain. Soon there are giant vines, wasps and rats terrorising the local town. Once this is dealt with, situations worsen as children are given this substance and grow to incredible sizes. These giants are tolerated at first but soon come to be resented by the rest of the population. In this lesser known tale of Wells’, he tackles both the dangers of carelessness in science and the intolerance of people facing the unknown.
