Ch-Eye-ldhood's End

Childhood's End (1953) By Arthur C Clarke

"When people hear the name Arthur C Clarke, the first response is always 2001:A Space Odyssey. But the film is based only on one of his short stories (The Sentinel) - and when it comes to an investigation of his work, it really is only one moment in an illustrious career that spanned more than 50 years. When his entire body of work is examined, one book nudges ahead of the rest - Childhood's End." - Found here
