I'd forgotten about Petaja's version.  Ian Watson wrote two books: Lucky's
Harvest and The Fallen Moon, quite recently, based also on the Kalevala.

And welcome to Alastair.  A coincidence that he joins this list just as I
have read his fine SF thriller "A Spy in Europa", the cover story of the June
Interzone.  Nice biter-bit (he-he) ending!  

I must confess to have missed the Tick-Tock the crest cat reference: and I
read _The Universe Against Her_ not 6 months ago.  But now Mr. Langford
brings it up, I think it must be a little joke of Mr. Wolfe's.  (Similar to
the Vernor Vinge books shelved under W in _Fifth Head_.)
