Unaccompanied Sonata and Other Stories - Orson Scott Card

Card's first short story collection, this book features a retrospectively-hilarious and extremely patronizing introduction by Ben Bova giving this "bright new writer" fatherly advice. (I love reading 'historical documents' like that...
Also includes the original short story that 'Ender's Game,' was based on, several other quite excellent short stories, and an afterword where Card briefly discusses his inspiration for each piece.
Quite good, overall - not at all 'juvenilia.'

This is a wonderful collection of Hugo winner Card's stories. It included Ender's Game, the story that started the Ender series.
