A movie that I've always enjoyed was the 1968 film "Charley". I know
that this film was based on a book entitled "Flowers for Algernon"
(I believe Algernon was the mouse). Lately I've had a hankering to
read said book, but I don't know the author. Can anyone tell me who it is?

The short story (and book) were written by Daniel Keyes.

We read it in high school. (b) I'm pretty sure it *wasn't* Bradbury, but can't remember who it was at the moment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Meredith Lesly {mit-eddie, ihnp4!inmet, wjh12, cca, datacube} !mirror!mer
