“I finally located this book via the Search (I had spelled the Symb as Sym - stupid), O.k. I found this book years ago in a Charity shop and thought I would try it. i re-read it every so often as it is a good story and I don't have many actual sci/fi books as such, not what i call pure sci/fi, but then, where is the difference between sci/fi and fantasy???? However, it is a simple tale but told with style at how we can see thing in an entirely different way to what they really are. Evelyn”
