The
Food of the Gods (1904)
By H.G. Wells
Every
life-form on Earth grows in size sporadically. Mr. Bensington and Professor
Redwood discover an ingredient that can make the growth process constant.
The animals on their experimental farm became giants. However, the ingredient
leaks into the world outside. Gradually, cases of colossal plants, insects,
animals, and children are encountered throughout the world. Twenty years
later, a league of giants seeks to destroy the tiny world of men.
