Description:New Dreams for Old is a collection of science fiction and fantasy stories by Mike Resnick, showing the depth and range that has not only made him a popular seller, but also placed him fourth (and climbing) on the all-time award list of all science fiction writers living and dead (as compiled by Locus).This book contains award winners and nominees. It contains two stories that are currently in development by Hollywood. It contains stories that have won readers polls, that have won foreign prizes, and a few that are just out-and-out hilarious.Most of these stories constitute recent work. One of them — "Travels With My Cats" — was a 2005 Hugo Award-winner and a Nebula nominee, while another — "A Princess of Earth" — was also a 2005 Hugo nominee. The story "Robots Don't Cry" was a 2004 Hugo nominee the previous year. Also included are the Hugo and Nebula nominee "For I Have Touched the Sky," Hugo nominee "Mwalimu in the Squared Circle," and Hugo winner "The 43 Antarean Dynasties." This collection also includes two novellas that have never seen print outside of the members-only Science Fiction Book Club.Are there really elephants on Neptune? What does Old MacDonald of nursery-rhyme fame actually grow on his farm? Is there much difference between pruning elderly flowers and elderly people? A trio of award nominees, "The Elephants on Neptune," "Old MacDonald Had a Farm," and "Hothouse Flowers," provide the answers.This is a collection of enormous range and the highest quality. More to the point, every story will not only make the reader think, but feel. The collection is introduced by Nancy Kress, herself a multiple Hugo and Nebula winner, and a monthly columnist for Writer's Digest.Contents9 • Introduction (New Dreams for Old) • (2006) • essay by Nancy Kress11 • Robots Don't Cry • [Birthright Universe] • (2003) • shortstory by Mike Resnick31 • The Elephants on Neptune • (2000) • shortstory by Mike Resnick46 • Travels with My Cats • (2004) • shortstory by Mike Resnick70 • A Princess of Earth • (2004) • shortstory by Mike Resnick86 • Down Memory Lane • (2005) • shortstory by Mike Resnick99 • The Chinese Sandman • [John Justin Mallory] • (2002) • novelette by Mike Resnick129 • Guardian Angel • [Birthright Universe] • (2005) • novella by Mike Resnick190 • Old MacDonald Had a Farm • (2001) • shortstory by Mike Resnick209 • The Amorous Broom • [John Justin Mallory] • (2004) • shortstory by Mike Resnick222 • Hothouse Flowers • (1999) • shortstory by Mike Resnick240 • His Award-Winning Science Fiction Story • (1988) • shortstory by Mike Resnick254 • For I Have Touched the Sky • [Kirinyaga • 3] • (1989) • novelette by Mike Resnick285 • Unsafe at Any Speed • (2003) • essay by Mike Resnick290 • The Pale Thin God • (1993) • shortstory by Mike Resnick294 • Mwalimu in the Squared Circle • (1993) • shortstory by Mike Resnick310 • Here's Looking at You, Kid • (2003) • shortstory by Mike Resnick317 • The Burning Spear at Twilight • (2005) • shortstory by Mike Resnick335 • The Kemosabee • (1994) • shortstory by Mike Resnick340 • The 43 Antarean Dynasties • [Birthright Universe] • (1997) • shortstory by Mike Resnick359 • Keepsakes • (2004) • novella by Mike ResnickWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
