Tales beyond time

Have you ever wished that you could fly, or travel in time, or fore- see what's going to happen? Chil- dren do these and many other strange and wonderful things in the stories in this book. Come with them--to ancient Egypt with Lloyd Alexander's "time cat"; to Crete, the land of the monstrous Mino- taur, with Icarus; to New York City two years before the twenty-first century, with Isaac Asimov's Rob- bie the robot.

These adventures in time and space have been selected especially for children by two experts in the field of imaginative fiction. In their introductions, Mr. and Mrs. de Camp show how favorite themes of myths and fairy tales take on new dimensions in science fiction.
