Mutant (The Garland Library of Science Fiction)
Overview
Based on material from 1945 and 1953.
Copyright Lewis Padgett 1953.
The Big Blow-up left huge radioactive sores (the graves of cities) all over the face of the Earth. In time, from some of the women who had been near these shunned areas, the first totally hairless babies began to be born. Their difference was not at first noticeable. But eventually, they became known as "Baldies," with another new and terrifying difference: the Baldies were telepathic! From then on they were hated by normal humans, and sometimes hunted like animals. These five stories are the saga of their struggle for survival and their desperate search to find a safe means to give the power of telepathy to humans, so both kinds might live peacefully side-by-side.
NOTE: The original Gnome press version lists Lewis Padgett as the author which is the pen-name for the writing team of C. L. Moore and Henry Kuttner.
Contents:
The Piper's Son (1945)
Three Blind Mice (1945)
The Lion and the Unicorn (1945)
Beggars in Velvet (1945)
Humpty Dumpty (1953)
