The Birthday Of The World and Other Stories — Ursula K. Le Guin

The Birthday Of The World and Other Stories -- Ursula K. Le GuinA most wonderful collection of short stories from the greatest Sci Fi writer of all time, Ursula K. Le Guin.

I think “Paradises Lost” is not only my favourite in this collection but also one of my favourite stories by Ursula ever.   If there’s any story that i would have liked her to expand upon it would be this one.   But maybe it will now inspire another great writer sometime in the future to expand upon it: please let me know if you are that writer.

All in all, a great collection, especially for fans of Ursula’s Hainish Cycle, with the majority of the stories being from that.
