Notes: Editor from Tymn & Ashley here. Artist not credited but cover is an uncanny copy (plagiarism ?) of this Hunter's cover. "British edition No. 2" on TOC. There are some uncredited 'generic' interior vignettes. Lardner's story is subtitled "A Bedtime Story for the Future...". Identification of Brackett's story was made via its french translation in Fiction #65 where original title is given.
