744.0. "Golden Oldie Shortie" by CSCOA3::CONWAY_J (Chastened , but Unrepentent) Tue Feb 07 1989 12:12

    How about a Yeah or a Boo for some of your favorite short stories
    from the "Golden Age of SF. Some one help me with the dates, but
    I believe that would be stories prior to 1955.  Novellas would also
    qualify.  Two of my favorites
    
    He Who Shrank
    Balshazzer

    I don't remember "Balshazzer" [sp?], but I do remember "He Who Shrank."
    By Henry Hasse.  Appeared in the fantastic anthology _Adventures
    in Time and Space_, edited by Healy and McComas (which, under a
    title that escapes me now, has been reprinted as a Modern Library
    book).  Good story for the time, though ....
    
    "The Proud Robot"  (Kuttner)
    "Farewell to the Master" (Bates)
    "A Martian Odyssey" (Weinbaum.  In fact, almost anything by Weinbaum)
    "Asylum" (van Vogt)
    "Hobbyist" (Eric Frank Russell)

    'Nother vote for "By His Bootstraps." I think the name is
    _Famous Science Fiction: Adventures in Time and Space_. 
    Don't recall "The Girl in the Gold Atom" being in it, though.
