The Ashton Memorial in Williamson Park is currently the Emerald City. See the attached image. I listed six of its earlier dramatic identities in "Oberon Trod Forth." A footpath through the wood has been painted yellow and we followed the characters along it between scenes.
We can think about the works of Poul Anderson while sitting in Williamson Park, in Market Square or on Morecambe Promenade. Brain Wave, in particular, is so rich in observations on human life that it repays very careful rereading and analysis. We have certainly not finished with it yet. How do its characters live and how should we live now even without their increased intelligence?

Kaor, Paul!
As a child I used to watch THE WIZARD OF OZ movie every year, as a big family event. That film might have been something Anderson could have mentioned in one of his 20th century stories.
Ad astra! Sean
