This review is from: Of Time and Stars: The Worlds of Arthur C.Clarke (Paperback)

A Clarke collection that again wisely leads off with the best story, finishing with another of his best, and a few other higher quality pieces are scattered throughout. Also some short entertainments like the Robin Hood story and Feathered Friend, all of the not very long at all variety.

Actually a 3.61 average here, rathed good.

So, a bit over 4.25 this one, rounded up.
