Robert A. Heinlein was an American science fiction author, aeronautical engineer, and naval officer. He was among the first to emphasize scientific accuracy in his fiction, and was thus a pioneer of the subgenre of hard science fiction. This brilliant collection of six short stories, originally published separately in literary magazines, contains Heinlein's shocking and strange, 'The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag,' 'The Man Who Traveled in Elephants,' 'All You Zombies,' 'They,' 'And He Built a Crooked House,' and 'Our Fair City.'
