The first British edition, containing just the introduction and a selection of seven of the stories, was issued in hardcover by Weidenfeld & Nicolson in 1954. Two paperback editions, each also containing different selections of seven stories, were issued by Berkley Books in 1957 and by Four Square Books in 1964.
