Condition: Very Good. Ballantine SF, 215; First Printing, thus. The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. Inventive anthology collecting three novellas: Envoy Extraordinary by William Golding (science fiction set in the ancient world); Consider Her Ways by John Wyndham (feminist science fiction set in a dystopian future), and Boy in Darkness by Mervyn Peake (a fantastic tale set in the world of Titus Groan). William Golding's story was later adapted and published as a play as The Brass Butterfly (1958). Wyndham's haunting novella in which 'the preventable is not prevented', is the quintessence of dystopian fiction. (Anatomy of Wonder 1995 3-78.).
