The Early Bird Catches the Worm but the Wise Worm Stays in Bed: Early and Late Stories
A selection of previously uncollected short stories from a highly regarded author of speculative fiction. The work presented here samples two distinct periods: the beginning of a career and its fast approaching conclusion. The early stories tend to be more conventional fantasies, the later are more experimental. But most are whimsical and all are ironic.
