Year Title
1953ⓘBE CAREFUL!! There two different Arthur C. Clarke stories with this title. This one is a variant title of "Encounter in the Dawn", and the other, published in 1949, is a variant title of "History Lesson". If you don't have a date to determine which version of the Title you have, the variant of "History Lesson" ends with the words "A Walt Disney Production".
 Expedition to Earth
1953ⓘLater name for "Encounter in the Dawn". Earliest sighting 1974 so far, but in an edition that suggests the 1972 Gollancz edition of "Of Time and Stars" might have the same variation?
