Sixteeen truly unusual stories! My paperback cost fifty cents forty-nine years ago. I can remember crying as I finished reading "Now Let Us Sleep." (Yes, I had tears in my eyes as I finished it this morning.)
A dentist kidnapped by extraterrestrials, an identifiable voice heard during a seance, and, best of all, little girls chanting as they jump rope in my (now) favorite story, "My Boyfriend's Name is Jello."
