It brings together almost all of her early short fiction and includes such poised and enduring masterpieces as the Hugo-winning 'The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas', the Nebula-winning 'The Day before the Revolution' and seminal works like 'Winter's King', 'Vaster than Empires and More Slow' and 'Nine Lives'.
