ABSTRACT
Probably no scientist has had more stories told about him, and probably none has told more stories about himself than R W Wood. Some 15 years ago a book was published with the title, Dr Wood, by William Seagrave, who had written two earlier books: Asylum and Voodoo. The unkind comment was made at the time that this completed the trilogy. Many of the anecdotes in the book were told exactly as they had been related many times by Wood himself. They were accounts of unusual and mostly amusing events. One which Wood told me was not included.
