The Universe and Spaceships
Illustrated Book, age 10
The Universe and Spaceships is a previously unpublished, 37 page, illustrated book written at age 10. I recall being fascinated that the planets had both scientific facts and mythological stories, and my only memory is that I wanted to combine these scientific and mythical aspects in the book - along with spaceships! In retrospect, the scientific aspects are stronger than I remember. And, of course, the best part is my spelling.
