Simak ;|vvolume 2 506 Access limited to subscribing institutions. 520 Tales of the unknown in which a fix-it man crosses into another dimension—and more Hiram Taine is a handyman who can fix anything. When he isn’t fiddling with his tools, he is roaming through the woods with his dog, Towser, as he has done for as long as he can remember. He likes things that he can understand. But when a new ceiling appears in his basement—a ceiling that appears to have the ability to repair television sets so they’re better than before—he knows he has come up against a mystery that no man can solve. Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novelette, “The Big Front Yard” is a powerful story about what happens when an ordinary man finds reality coming apart around him. Along with the other stories in this collection, it is some of the most lyrical science fiction ever published. Each story includes an introduction by David W. Wixon, literary executor of the Clifford D. Simak estate and editor of this ebook. 538 System requirements: Adobe Digital editions. 588 0 Online resource; title from landing page (Freading, viewed November 25, 2015). 650 0 Short stories, American. 650 0 Science fiction, American. 650 7 FICTION / Short Stories (single author)|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 655 7 Science fiction.|2gsafd 800 1 Simak, Clifford D.,|d1904-1988.|tShort stories.|f2015 ; |v2. 914 frd00006741
