The Wheels of If turned--and Allister Park spun from our own New York through a dizzying succession of alternate worlds to New Belfast...biggest city in the Bretwaldate of Vinland, the country that might have been if some historical crises had turned out the other way... .

Park's frantic efforts to get back to his own if-world turn Vinland upside down--and create a marvelously inventive and entertaining classic of SF.

In addition to this famous novel, this collection includes "The Gnarly Man," "Hyperpelosity," and four other stories in the inimitable De Camp manner.
