Before
"The Hardy Boys" and "Nancy Drew", there was the quintessential
boy inventor Tom Swift. Many writers of science fiction's golden age in the
1950s and 1960s trace their earliest experiences with sci-fi to him, and now
you can read 25 of his most famous adventures in The
Tom Swift Collection including such famous
works as "Tom Swift and His Air Ship," "Tom Swift in the City
of Gold" and "Tom Swift in the Land of Wonders."
Tom Swift, son of wealthy inventor Barton Swift, invented the darnedest gadgets
imaginable, and used them to fly to the outskirts of the solar system, search
for hidden treasure, go to strange places, battle spies and consort with aliens.
He was accompanied on all his adventures by best friend Ned Newton, girlfriend
Mary Nestor, and the ever-faithful Rad, grounds-keeper of his father's estate.
Did
You Know? |
A Tom Swifty is a type of pun.
For example: "I need a pencil sharpener," said Tom bluntly. "Oops! There goes my
hat!" said Tom off the top of his head. "I can no longer
hear anything," said Tom deftly. |
