Epub (reformatted cover & TOC)

This groundbreaking retrospective collection features the
classic science fiction stories of Clifford D. Simak (1904-1988). When the
Science Fiction Writers of America began bestowing their Grand Master awards,
Simak was the third writer so honored. Only Robert Heinlein and Jack Williamson
preceded him, and he received his award before such luminaries as Fritz Leiber,
Isaac Asimov, and Ray Bradbury. Simak earned this distinction by producing,
over a long period of time, a significant body of popular, respected, often
award-winning work, including his classics City and Way Station,
and many shorter works, eight of which are contained in this collection.

Readers unfamiliar with Simak are in for a treat. More than half of the stories
here were among the best stories of their respective years. "The Big Front
Yard" (1958) won a Hugo. "A Death in the House" (1959) was
selected by Judith Merril for Year's Best SF: Fifth Annual Edition.
"Over the River and Through the Woods" (1965) made the cut for World's
Best Science Fiction: 1966 edited by Donald Wollheim.
