First edition

London: Victor Gollancz Ltd, 1976. Octavo, boards. First edition. The author's first SF short story collection. Four long tales, including the much-lauded Piper at the Gates of Dawn which proved to be the overture to his White Bird of Kinship trilogy of novels. Also outstanding is the title story, with its medieval setting and its message for the twentieth century. - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction,
