Continuing in the collection series of short stories by Clifford D. Simak, who was the 3rd SF Grand Master, as voted by the Science Fiction Writers of America in 1977, and he's won 3 Hugos, a Nebula and a Locus Award for his work, and the Horror Writers Association made him one of three inaugural winners of the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement. For those wanting more Simak short stories, try the collection, "The Big Front Yard and Other Stories". Simak is well known for his novel, "City". Of interest is that Simak was a considerable influence on Asimov, who said Simak was his favourite SF author. Asimov noted that he loved Simak’s clear style and it helped shape Asimov’s writing.
