Something else I didn’t know...

The Melting of Molly that we have in the catalog is the British magazine version.

There is a longer American novel version too which is supposed to be a little different:
The Melting of Molly (American novel)

Wow, I guess Significantly Different is right. I always thought it odd that one of her stories were set in England. (The American version is set in America)
