Zenna Henderson and The People are awe-inspiring. No doubt, Henderson inspired McCaffrey. The teachers in Henderson's delightful works should be role models for every teacher in the world--the People with their mental powers, escaping from a rogue star which is destroying their own world, and just managing (some of them) to make landfall on Earth, as their body ships disintegrate, fleeing personal destruction as witches, etc., until times change, protecting themselves by hiding far in the wilderness, losing touch with some of the children--who don't know why or how they got the way they are, whose powers are twisted by exposure to various things--these are great stories, how they work out their problems, work out contact with those earthlings who can deal with them, how earthlings grow to accept them, how they intercede when possible. . .inspiring.
