Cover art by the author.

Ernest Charles Large (1902-1976) was an English industrial chemist, writer, and plant scientist, best known for his book THE ADVANCE OF THE FUNGIi (1940).

He wrote several novels of science fiction with SUGAR IN THE AIR being a near classic work considered by Clute and Nichols as "A notable and original science fiction novel."

A fantastic satire on contemporary modern science in its application to "big business" as a young engineer invents a method of extracting sugar from the air and the resulting "wild riot of promoting" that follows.

Also noted in Locke, Bleiler, Reginald, Stableford, Tuck, and Anatomy of Wonder.
