About the author

Robert Kimmel Smith began dreaming of becoming a writer at the age of eight, when he spent three months in bed reading while recovering from rheumatic fever. He enrolled in Brooklyn College in 1947, and served in the U.S. Army, in Germany, from 1951-1953. In 1954 he married Claire Medney, his editor and literary agent. They have two children: Heidi (1962) and Roger (1967). After writing advertising copy from 1957 to 1969, Robert Kimmel Smith became a full-time writer in 1970.

Very nice short stories: and that's saying something coming from me. I have a hard time with the short ones, but I managed and enjoyed the read. Give it a try! Perfect for long trips and waiting rooms.

I'm very thankful for RDC books, as this was not a title that would have otherwise grabbed me. Glad I read this story!
