Blurb: “A PRECOCIOUS PERFORMANCE
When a teenager named Isaac Asimov wasn't busy with school or working in the family store, he was writing. In this remarkable retrospective, Asimov takes us back to those early efforts, the inspirations, setbacks, and successes that were part and parcel of his mastering the writer's craft. Along with the stories themselves, his life in those first, exciting years as a writer struggling to make a name for himself in the world of science fiction is a remarkable tale in itself.
Even in his first published story, the promise was there...

The Asimov touch and talent were apparent from the beginning...
