Outsiders: Children of Wonderis a splendid anthology dating in its HB edition from 1953. That first edition, published by Simon and Schuster was titled simply “Children of Wonder”.
There is a certain grimness to many of the tales but this seriousness and the literary quality of its contents set it apart from many of the other anthologies which dominated the “Golden Age” sci-fi market of the forties and fifties.
William Tenn provides an excellent introduction to the book as a whole and also some introductory comments to each of the stories. Unfortunately this unique volume is not available as an ebook.
