A Handful of Time by Rosel George Brown

Paperback. Condition: Good. 1962. Ballantine.

These days, when words like space-probe and moon-flight (not to say megadeath and overkill) are common, household terms, it is very refreshing indeed to find a science fiction writer whose primary concern is human beings.

Here you will find people dealing with the common, household problems of how a girl can maintain the proper moral front while secretly living a joyous life of sin, keeping up with the Jones's, car pools, the pitiless omnipresence of small children, love and war between man and woman--and many other readily recognizable joys of living--even if the methods of dealing with them are a bit peculiar.

A collection of 12 stories.
