About This Book

A 17th century adventure tale of swan-powered lunar exploration. Written in 1638, The Man in the Moone was one of the earliest science fiction books and an important influence on the development of the genre. In it, the narrator, Domingo Gonsales, reaches the moon by accident when the trained swans pulling his flying machine proceed on their annual lunar migration. Highly imaginative and entertaining throughout.
