And a dog. Famous for her 'surehand plotting, unforgettable characters, and topnotch writing,' Willis has been called, 'the most relentlessly delightful science fiction writer alive,' and there are numerous examples here. Among them, Willis's most famous stories the Hugo and NebulaAwardwinning 'Fire Watch' and 'Even the Queen' and 'The Last of the Winnebagos' along with undiscovered gems like Willis's heartfelt homage to Jack Williamson, 'Nonstop to Portales.' Her magical Christmas stories are here, too, from 'Newsletter' to 'Just Like the Ones We Used to Know...' which last year was made into the TV movie, Snow Wonder, starring Mary Tyler Moore. We've collected stories from throughout Willis's career, from early ones like 'Cash Crop' and 'Daisy, in the Sun,' right up to her newest stories, including the wonderful 'The Winds of Marble Arch.' There's literally something for everyone here. If you're a diehard Willis fan, you'll be delighted with hardtofind treasures like the untilnow uncollected, 'The Soul Selects Her Own Society...'

To say nothing of, 'At the Rialto,' the funniest story ever written about quantum physicists. And Willis's chilling, 'All My Darling Daughters.' And...oh, there are too many great stories here to list and pleasures galore. So enjoy!
