The Planet of Youth is a science fiction novel by Stanton A. Coblentz. It was first published in book form in 1952 by Fantasy Publishing Company, Inc. in an edition of 600 copies, of which 300 were hardback. The novel originally appeared in the October 1932 issue of the magazine Wonder Stories.
The novel concerns the first real estate boom on the planet Venus.
Boucher and McComas found the novel to have dated badly, "pleasing in period for its irony and economy, but pretty slight today."[1]
