Title: Evening Primrose
Author: John Collier
Year: 1940
Type: SHORTFICTION
Storylen: shortstory
ISFDB Record Number: 43716
Note: According to Contento, this story first appeared in 1940, but the copyright page of ''Out of This World'', ed. Julius Fast, gives 1931 as the copyright year. An inventory of Collier's papers at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center (at one point available on the internet at http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=6&url=http%3A%2F%2Fresearch.hrc.utexas.edu%3A8080%2Fhrcxtf%2Fview%3FdocId%3Dead%2F00025.xml&ei=l2hhSYbLCqCiMuetqI8K&usg=AFQjCNHmLvu87xjOLERQ5RxkyV8HbrcQ1A&sig2=w8-qGPGdyEmOgc7gAWfiFw) lists a first draft as a "1937(?)" document, which suggests that 1931 is in error.
