	Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > Wold Newton family
		The Wold Newton family is a literary concept derived from a form of crossover fiction[?] developed by the science fiction writer Philip Jose Farmer.
		Farmer suggested in two fictional "biographies" of fictional characters, (Tarzan Alive and Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life), that a radioactive meteorite fell in Wold Newton[?], England, in the late 18th century, resulting in genetic mutations affecting the occupants of a passing coach.
		The Wold Newton concept relies on judicious Krypto-Revisionism; the characters of the books and comics are treated as fictionalized, exaggerated versions of "real" people/characters, and accounts that strain suspension of disbelief too much are dismissed as complete fabrication.

		From the Royal Family itself, headed by the septuagenarian Queen-Empress Victoria, down to the barrow-boys of London's chaotic markets, from the marble halls of dukes to the pimps and prostitutes of Gin Lane, Conan Doyle had Great Britain and her Empire at his feet, hanging upon every stroke of his pen.
		The simplicity and elegance of Wold Newton, which made it so appealing and so easy to use, is in danger of being smothered by conflicting timelines, spurious characters and quick fix tacked on explanations that are scientifically outlandish/supernatural and, in my view, don't really integrate with the Wold Newton family at all.
		Thanks to Farmer, the Wold Newton Universe enabled an entirely new generation of writers to produce great new characters without having to wade through a half century of contradictory continuity, and so it may even be argued that the Wold Newton Universe is perhaps the greatest thing that Philip José Farmer gave his readers.
