Description Conducive To Books Grotto of the Dancing Deer: And Other Stories (The Complete Short Fiction of Clifford D. Simak #4)

Collected tales of wonder, danger, and the future, including the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning title story

This volume contains ten stellar short stories by science fiction Grand Master Clifford D. Simak. In “Grotto of the Dancing Deer,” a man carrying an ancient secret finally speaks up, unable to bear any longer the loneliness he has experienced for millennia. In “Over the River,” which Simak wrote in memory of his beloved grandmother Ellen, children from an embattled future are sent back for safekeeping to their ancestors in the peaceful past. And in “Day of Truce,” the inhabitants of a suburban subdivision must barricade themselves against bands of roving attackers. On only one day each year do the gates open wide. . . .

Each story includes an introduction by David W. Wixon, literary executor of the Clifford D. Simak estate and editor of this ebook.

Judge Epithetical Books Grotto of the Dancing Deer: And Other Stories (The Complete Short Fiction of Clifford D. Simak #4)

More than worth your time This collection has quite a large span of quality. The first two stories are masterpiece; there are a few early stories that are quite primitive and two stories that dont fit any particular genre. Those two stories are quite good!

"He was honored by fans with three Hugo awards and by colleagues with one Nebula award and was named the third Grand Master by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) in 1977." (Wikipedia)See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford...

1980 Nebula Award + 1981 Hugo Award for Best Short StoryLovely story from Simak from the perspective of an archaeologist who stumbles on the mystery of a set of ancient European cave paintings and their connection to today.

9.4/10 What a great selection of Simaks short stories! Especially loved The Civilization Game and Hunger Death.

Clifford D. Simak was not only the third author honored as a Grand Master of Science Fiction, but also a master of rural fantasy tales. This collection, part of a series (ten or so volumes to date) edited by David W Dixon contains several such stories, along with some great pure science fiction stories . I highly recommend Dixon's efforts to collect and republish all of Simak's shorter works of fiction, and intend to read all volumes. Clifford Simak help to lay the foundation of SF/Fan back in

Have heard only "Grotto of the Dancing Deer" (in russian).
