Description:

A collection of short stories that will undeniably add a new and greater dimension to Science Fiction. Among the twenty stories are two which concern Miss Henderson's most famous creation.."The People". A majority of the stories are concerned with the child's world. They deal with the joy and pathos, laughter and tears, gentleness and cruelty which encompass a young person's world. Whether human or alien, on earth or on a far flung planet in a distant galaxy, children seem to vary only in reactions to experiences. Here are children who "believe", but what they believe and how they can realize their beliefs is only half the story... Dismey, for example, believes she's a magician. Two little boys who teased her can prove it. But they can't tell--she's turned them into rocks! And how do you explain an amazing child who believes in attending school, but is hundreds of years old? The explanation is simple...if you believe! The Indelible Kind [The People] (1968) / novelette by Zenna Henderson J-Line to Nowhere (1969) / novelette by Zenna Henderson You Know What, Teacher?
