Is there life on Venus,Mercury and Mars? Are there beings on other worlds beyond our Solar System? Might Saturn's rings be used as a race-track,and could there be a policeman controlling traffic among the asteroids? Yes of course,says Mrs Moore, and takes us on an exciting journey to meet all manner of extraordinary creatures living on the planets which are our neighbours in Space.Who can prove her wrong? In any case,no one who reads this book will want to do so.It's much more fun just to enjoy her marvellous imagination and to laugh at the humour of her delicious paintings.But it is not all fantasy for Mrs Moore is the mother of Patrick Moore,the famous astronomer,and she herself knows,and tells us,a great deal about the planets and the stars.The subject has always fascinated her and her illustrations have been painted over a long period of time - the first of them was drawn around 1900,while the latest was done in 1974,only a few weeks before Mrs Moore's 88th birthday.
