Mimsy Were the Borogroves – by Lewis Padgett (February 1943) Mewhu’s Jet – by Theodore Sturgeon (November 1946) The Witches of Karres – by James H. Schmitz (December 1949) Mikal’s Songbird – by Orson Scott Card (May 1978) In Hiding – by Wilmar H. Shiras (November 1948) Weyr Search – by Anne McCaffrey (October 1967) Meeting of Minds – by Ted Reynolds (November 1980) Novice – by James H. Schmitz (June 1962) Child of all Ages – by P.J. Plauger (March 1975) Emergence – by David R. Palmer (January 1981) I bought this book specifically for the first story. However, I read to the last story. Some stories went on to the form of a novel. Others became movies. They will all become good memories.
