Wonder's Child Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Telling much more than the story of a single man's life and work, this autobiography is an amazing look at the entire 20th century from the eyes of one of the greatest voices in science fiction. This story of a man plagued with a perpetual sense of wonder at the world around him begins with Williamson's youth and his family's struggle to survive on farms in the arid southwestern United States. Early attempts at education, the publication of his first story, his service in the Pacific during World War II, and his eventual major success in the genre of science fiction are all detailed to tell the life of this Hugo-Award winning author.
