Titles Reviewed in LATE REVIEWS

I had to sort my "Late Reviews" in Wormwood and other places, and ended up making a list (alphabetical by author) of the reviews in my collection Late Reviews, so I thought I'd post it here.  The entries marked with an asterisk were not published in Wormwood (issues 1-30), but appear in the collection. Also, many of the reviews originally published in Wormwood were updated (usually with new biographical information) for the collection. (More details, and ordering information, here.)

      The book, unfortunately, is very rare. That leaves the only options interlibrary loan, or patiently watching the rare book market. Good luck!

  2. 'This is a very interesting list. Can you tell me, please, where I can get hold of copies either in print or in electronic format? I am particularly interested in two volumes; Roger Lancelyn Green's *The Wood That Time Forgot* and EA Wyke Smith's Bill of the Bustingforths. I read the second chapter of The Wood that Time Forgot in your anthology "Tales before Narnia" and it made me want to read more, is the shadowy figure of a girl at the end the same Elena (if I read the runes correctly) who carved her name in the tree? I have also read Wyke-Smith's "The Marvellous Land of Snergs" and would like to read some more by him. I would be grateful for any pointers.

  3. Only chapter 2 of Green's "The Wood That Time Forgot" has ever been published. Some years ago I donated my photocopy of the typescript (along with a few other such books by Green) to the Wade Center at Wheaton College (Illinois), where scholars may consult it. So I no longer have a copy. I've wanted to re-issue Wyke-Smith's Bill of the Bustingforths (among others of his books), but it's an awkward size--fairly short, with lots of illustrations, which complicates the formatting. Wyke-Smith's science fiction novel, The Second Chance, may come first.
