Well, curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to call my
local library to see if they had any information on the Tycho
Bass series that I mentioned in a previous article. The only
book I could remember was "Mr. Bass's Planetoid", which the
librarian said they had, along with some of the others. It
turned out they had ALL of the others, so I checked them out
and here is the relevant information:

The Mushroom Planet books by Eleanor Cameron:

	The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet (1954)
	
	Stowaway to the Mushroom Planet (1956)
	
	Mr. Bass's Planetoid (1958)
	
	A Mystery for Mr. Bass (1960)
	
	Time and Mr. Bass (1967)

These books concern the adventures of David Topman and Chuck Masterson
with their astronomer-artist-inventor friend Tycho Bass from the
Mushroom Planet. The Mushroom Planet is a small satellite of Earth
which can only be seen through a telescope with a special filter.
David and Chuck built a rocket in response to an ad Mr. Bass placed
in a local paper, and using sealant and fuel provided by Mr. Bass,
they traveled to the Mushroom Planet to meet Mr. Bass's people (the
Mushroom people, or Mycetians as they were later called).

I haven't read the books yet, but I intend to now that I've found
them again. Sure they're on a juvenile level; so what?

I also discovered that the library has many of John Christopher's
books as well; maybe I'll check them out after these.
