Interior text

Jessamyn West — author of such best-selling novels as Cress Delahanty and The Witch Diggers, makes her debut in fantasy with a story of our world as it might be if there were a sudden interchange of size — but nothing else — between children and adults.

Lester Del Rey — recognized master of brilliant and unpredictable science fiction, writes of a Kansas preacher, doubtful of his faith, who finds in universal holocaust a blinding vision of man's next religion.

Theodore Sturgeon — whose novel More Than Human has been acclaimed as one of the most unforgettable fantasies ever written, tells of an artist imprisoned by the past, and the strange girl who tries to rescue him with the gift of love.

Three gifted authors have here contributed their unique and diverse talents to bring you a truly distinguished collection of imaginative fiction.
