Product Description This certainly could be entitled "The Best of Judith Merril." Seven stories, published between 1948-58, by an underrated writer who was, sadly, savaged by critics for taking such a "feminine" viewpoint while constructing her tales. This is second printing, 1963. CONTENTS: Introduction, by Theodore Sturgeon; That Only a Mother [Astounding, June 1948]; Peeping Tom [Startling, Spring 1954]; The Lady Was a Tramp [Venture, July 1957]; Whoever You Are [Startling, December 1952]; Connection Completed [Universe, Summer 1954]; Dead Center [F&SF, November 1954]; Death Cannot Wither [F&SF, February 1959]
Author
Josephine Juliet Grossman aka Cyril Judd (with C.M. Kornbluth) Judith Josephine Grossman (Boston, Massachusetts, January 21, 1923 - Toronto, Ontario, September 12, 1997), who took the pen-name Judith Merril about 1945, was an American and then Canadian science fiction writer, editor and political activist. Although Judith Merril's first paid writing was in other genres, in her first few years of writing published science fiction she wrote her three novels (all but the first in collaboration with C.M. Kornbluth) and some stories. Her roughly four decades in that genre also included writing 26 published short stories, and editing a similar number of anthologies.
