The Man in the Moone 1st edition

The Man in the Moone, written by Francis Godwin, was an influential work first published in 1638. In this fanciful tale the narrator, Domingo Gonsales, tells how he used a flock of birds to take him to the Moon. Here he discovers that the citizens of the Moon are Christians who live in a Utopian paradise. In this version, edited for Firestone Books, the spelling and punctuation have been modernized, and some minor amendments have been made. A glossary is also included.
