Publisher Notes
"Robert A. Heinlein's methodical approach to scientific extrapolation was equally effective when he bent to fantasy and supernatural fiction. . . . Heinlein was one of the first writers to successfully meld the substance of SF and fantasy into an integral whole without compromising either genre." --The Encyclopedia of Fantasy
"He made footsteps big enough for a whole country to follow. And it was our country that did it. . . . We proceed down a path marked by his ideas. That's legacy enough for any man. He showed us where the future is." --Tom Clancy
Robert A. Heinlein, the dean of American SF writers, also wrote fantasy fiction throughout his long career, but especially in the early 1940s. The Golden Age of SF was also the time of revolution in fantasy fiction, and Heinlein was at the forefront. His fantasies were set in a convincingly realistic world, particularly those published in the famous magazine, Unknown Worlds, including such stories as "Magic, Inc.," "They," and "The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag." Now all of Heinlein's best fantasy short stories, most of them long novellas, have been collected in one big volume for the first time.
