A giant-sized anthology which is intelligently edited and a world away, over and above the average space opera. Fletcher Pratt has selected stories which are mar without violating known precepts- and among them are Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis Kipling's The Finest Story in the World and The Mark of the Beast, while Fredric Brown, Philip MacDonald, Robert Heinlain, Bay Bradbury, Esther Carlson, etc. strike a more contemporary note.... The fantasy form providing both literary and popular entertainment.
