This review is from: Thirteen O'Clock: Stories of Several Worlds (Short Story Index Reprint Series) (Hardcover)

13 short stories including "the curfew tolls"concerning what happens when a genius is born a few years too early ortoo late - in this case, a retired French Major of Artillery by the name of Napoleon Bonaparte who claims to have military "dreams that would split the head of a Caesar" and no chance of proving it. "the king of the cats" - was this an old tale or one simply brilliantly recounted by benet? "the devil and daniel webster" was the benet that i read in school but i don't remember when or why. it still is fascinating. every tale is like a jewel.
