		      AFTER LONDON by Richard Jefferies
		 Oxford University Press, 1885 (1980), $3.95.
		      A book review by Evelyn C. Leeper

     Billed as one of "The World's Classics," this post-holocaust story is
interesting mostly from an historical perspective.  Though the afterword
deals with the question of how it "all fell apart," the story itself is just
another feudal adventure story.  (It actually reads a lot like THE CROSS-
TIME ENGINEER, which I have also just read and reviewed.)  Don't expect
rousing adventure, but the literary style is interesting.
