by Robert Sheckley ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 11, 1955
Twelve -- long and short -- SF tales which touch lightly on technical data and make more of unexpected quirks and twists to spark the telling. An out-of-space boy scout gets his badge; a wishing machine obeys and betrays its owners; robots win the Last Battle against Satan and are saved by the Lord: a boy does not want to be a wizard; mankind is rejected by his dwelling places, etc. Lively.
