The Anything Box by Zenna Henderson
5.0
The Anything Box is one of the most amazing books I've ever read. I don't even like short story collections, but this one was so perfect. If I could, I'd give it ten stars. Fifty.
I had, in fact, drafted a lot of my review just as I started reading it. But I wasn't home when I did and I sadly lost the paper. It was a good review full of emotion and ideas and I was so distraught at having lost it that I even stopped reading the book. For a year.
But I finally picked it back up, and although I can't tell you exactly what I thought of those stories a year ago, I can say that they completely blew my mind. This is one of the best collections of SFF I have ever had the pleasure to read. It just doesn't get better. And I wish Zenna Henderson was better known because she was a one of a kind writer.
