Wells The Dragon of Pendor (from A Wizard of Earthsea) by Ursula K. Le Guin Bobo's Star by Glen Chandler The Yellow Hands (from The Master) by T.H. White The Specimen by Tim Stout Of Polymuf Stock (set in the same world as The Sword of Spirits Series) by John Christopher Hurled Into Space (from Round the Moon) by Jules Verne Goodbye to the Moon (from Crisis on Conshelf Ten) by Monica Hughes The Shot From the Moon (from Islands in the Sky) by Arthur C. Clarke The Fun They Had by Isaac Asimov A Fight Between Lizards at the Centre of the Earth (from Journey To The Centre Of The Earth) by Jules Verne The Last Man Alive (from The Purple Cloud) by Matthew Phipps Shiel How We Were Tracked By A Tripod (from The White Mountains) by John Christopher The War of the Worlds: an extract (from The War of the Worlds) by H.G. Wells Homecoming by Stephen David All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury Grenville's Planet by Micheal Shaara The Fear Shouter by Jay Williams The Wind from the Sun by Arthur C. Clarke Blishen (The compiler of this book) says he made this selection in the hope that there will be at least one story that will haunt the reader for ever after (as he was after reading the The Invisible Man) and I can say that Ray Bradbury's All Summer in a Day has stuck in my memory, since I first came across it in this book. Isaac Asimov's The Fun They Had also did. Re-reading now after a long time others in this collection are familiar and I can remember finding them haunting as a child. I was always disappointed that the ones I found most interesting were short stories and not an extract from a longer book I could then discover. I only enjoyed about half of these, and some more for nostalgia's sake.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-03-21 00:00:00 Chris Hallum I read the collection when I was a young boy and enjoyed it a great deal. One of the stories, Bobo's Star, has never disappeared from my mind. Science fiction does not appeal to me nowadays but I remember this collection of stories with great nostalgia.
