"Zenna Chlarson Henderson (November 1, 1917 May 11, 1983) was an American elementary school teacher and science fiction and fantasy author. Her first story was published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction in 1951. Her work is cited as pre-feminist, often featuring middle-aged women, children, and their relationships, but with stereotyped gender roles. Many of her stories center around human aliens called "The People", who have special powers. Henderson was nominated for a Hugo Award in 1959 for her novelette Captivity." (from Wikipedia).

Condizione: NEAR FINE. 2nd printing. A collection of 41 of the best short stories by Sheckley, with an introduction by David Hartwell. As one review noted, these stories "make it clear that Sheckley is one of sf's all-time masters of the humorous or satirical short story. 'The Lifeboat Mutiny' represents Sheckley's classic Triple A Ace Interplanetary Decontamination Agency at its risible best . . . and a dozen others are just as good places for innocent readers to start an acquaintance with Sheckley. A welcome replacement for all those tattered paperbacks on the sf shelves." 569 pp. Dust jacket art by Bob Eggleton. Near fine in near fine dust jacket (remainder line, stamp on front endpaper).

De Fate, Vincent (illustratore). 1st edition. HC in dust jacket. 1st Printing. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.

Science Fiction Book Club issue with the number code on the rear panel of the dust jacket. Otherwise essentially the same as the original published edition. Fine in a fine dust jacket with wraparound cover art by Elizabeth Rhys Finney. A FRESH UNREAD COPY. "Henderson's People stories reached the peak of their popularity when they inspired the 1972 TV movie "The People", starring William Shatner. First composed in the 1950s and 1960s, the stories, including the previously unpublished "Michal Without," are here collected for the first time. For the uninitiated, the People are members of a race of humanlike, psychically gifted extraterrestrials who become stranded on Earth after their starship crashes during a space migration they refer to as the Crossing. Bound together by a series of vignettes about one human's encounter with the People, the 28 stories chronicle the People's adventures from the crash to their settlement in rural Arizona and their problems using their levitational and mind-reading skills in human society while seeking a new planet to replace the home they left behind. These tales may seem mawkish and dated by today's more sophisticated sf standards, yet they retain their raw emotional power thanks to Henderson's masterfully lucid prose. They will always occupy an important place in sf history for their treatment of parapsychological themes."--Booklist. Octavo. 577 pages. Includes The People Chronology at the rear of the book.
