This collection from grand master Robert A. Heinlein includes five short stories sure to please science fiction fans everywhere. The title story tells the tale of a young man who meets a time-traveling bartender whose origins – and relation to the young man – are more complex and stranger than the Ouroboros ring on the barkeep’s finger. In The Man Who Traveled in Elephants – one of both Heinlein and Spider Robinson’s all-time favorite stories – we join a former traveling salesman on a bus. The man and his wife had once traveled with a host of imaginary animals searching for places to sell elephants.

“They” takes listeners inside a mental institution, where a man suffering from delusions has been confined. In “Our Fair City”, a parking attendant named Pappy, a sentient whirlwind named Kitten, and a crusading reporter named Pete aim to take down their corrupt city government. Lastly, in “And He Built a Crooked House”, a clever architect designs a house in the shape of the shadow of a tesseract, but it collapses through the fourth dimension when an earthquake shakes it into a more stable form.
