© 1981: A collection of 18 short stories by Gene Wolfe. 1st printing of 1985 edition:- Contents: How The Whip Came Back / Of Relays And Roses / Paul's Treehouse / St Brandon / Beautyland / Car Sinister / The Blue Mouse / How I Lost The Second World War / The Adopted Father / Forlesen / An Article About Hunting / The Changeling / Many mansions / Against The Lafayette Escadrille / Three Million Square Miles / The War Beneath The Tree / La Befana / Melting:- Synopsis: Gene Wolfe's world is nothing like our own. It is bizarre and wonder-filled. It is a world of prowling houses, pregnant cars, space-age slaves and toys that are more than life-like. It is a world of shadows and unexceptional violence where man's technological fantasies have surpassed his dreams. From this world comes a story for every holiday from New Year's Eve to Christmas Day - each marked by Gene Wolfe's unique imagination. And each, of course, about a world nothing like our own:- (original cost £2.25).
