Most Delightful
This is only the second book of Davidson's that I've read, but now I'm hungry for more. The late Mr Davidson sure did have a sense of humor, in addition to his stunning erudition and marvelous story telling ability. As a bonus to these qualities, he shows that he could write with brevity as well. His story, Apres Nous, is only two pages, but was perhaps my favorite in the collection. If you like, say, Gene Wolfe, you should like Davidson's fiction as well. ... Read more

Very entertaining by Davidson and Moore
Humor and satire are commodities in short supply on the science fiction shelves. It was very refreshing to find this delightful tale well written by two of the better authors in the field.

Two members of Congress from opposite parties are reviewing veteran's pensions. Both decide to make political capital over an eleven-dollar pension to a Mr. Isachar Joyleg residing in the backwoods settlement of Rabbit Notch.The Democrat espouses upon the paltry sum while the Republican suspect outright fraud, Ike Joyleg indeed!

After considerable bluster both Congressmen decide on a visit to Rabbit Notch in order to ascertain the facts of the matter. Much to the Democrat's consternation it seem that Mr. Joyleg has been receiving this pension since the Revolutionary War. When questioned about his apparent longevity he reveals his secret: a good soaking in moonshine for a few hours a day.

I will now reveal any more details except to say the diction and dialog of Mr. Joyleg is a readers delight.

Sad to say after the magazine version [Fantastic April & May 1962] this book has been only publish in paperback twice the last being 1973
