 I read a long time ago a short story called "Wondercopy". Does anybody know where I can get it? I'd like to re-read it, now in this clonning days. Thank you.  | |||

 In my enfeebled old age, I don't recognize this. Sorry.  | ||||
  | 
 To my knowledge Ray has never written about cloning, and his only public comment indicated "he was agin it," but I can post it in the same places as the others.  | ||||

 The term, Wondercopy...must be around, because someone in grade school named Sarah....wrote a little story about it... click on, or type into finder: http://www.ev-schule-charlottenburg.de/Fachbereiche/Englisch/body_englisch.html  | ||||

 These replies came by way of the Booksleuth Forums at Abebooks. From: jent As you say, no Bradbury reader recognises it,� I don't remember it , yet it is listed as rec. reading on When You Choose� a site for Argentine English Second Language study - and attributed there to Bradbury. Weird or what??� I think this is a job for� OCTOBERCOUNTRY !!! Jen in Melbourne From:� libraryladytoo Googled on "Wondercopy" and found it mentioned on a Dutch language <>website.� The book it's from is a beginning English reader called Me, Myself and I : Seven Science Fiction Stories by Lewis Jones, London: Longman, 1975, ISBN 0582538440 .� According to the website, the story is by Bradbury.� Unfortunately, it looks like none are in stock now here at abe or anywhere else that I've been able to find. Cathy From:� Cori Okay, since the person who requested this it seems may be using English as a second language, it's possible a story of Bradbury's was translated into another language and given this title. I have two problems with this. For one, I remember a lot of Bradbury stories about robots in human form and a few of aliens taking on human shape, but none about cloning. In "Marionettes, Inc.," robots are made to resemble a specific person, as in another story, "Punishment Without Crime." They are the only two of his I can think of offhand for which this title would be appropriate. For another question, if the story was published in a foreign language, why is the title in English?  | ||||

 Oh, I just found it.  Sure enough, it is a retitling of "Marionettes, Inc."  | ||||
