To be honest, I didn't request this book. PBS said I requested it at a time when I was looking for books written by William Saroyan and, because it was an anthology, I assumed it had one of his stories in it and that I'd just forgotten having requested it so I didn't say anything. I'm a confirmed, avid and exclusive reader of Fantasy and Science Fiction but, at a time when I had nothing else to read, I read the first story in this book and was instantly, hopelessly hooked. I couldn't put it down until I'd finished it and then my wife read it. We both loved it. This is a wonderful book. I'd rate it as totally unsuitable for immature, narrow minded people but any open minded, genuine adult is going to love it.
