You know you are old when you can remember these covers. Enjoy these old stories so much. This modern obsession of taking three book to tell a short story bores me stiff.
I remember them too, but only from a big book that collected a bunch of Golden Age pulp scifi covers that came out sometime in the 1970s. That Wonder Stories one was one of them. Great stuff - I wound up dismembering the book and framing each page to make a wall full of scifi artwork that followed me from college dorm rooms to my first couple of apartments. Inclined to agree with you about modern editing and writing standards. A little decompression in storytelling is fine, but stretching a twenty page plot to six hundred is going too far.
What a great piece of Scifi writing! Wish there were more stories. He’s so imaginative. The reader was brilliant. Read the story perfectly. And thanks for recreating the wonderful character of Tweel :) 🚀✨
"shannigins" does not mean "Jeni se qua" 😂 but hey that's my only complaint. These stories are a great look into social ideas of the time they where written. Most of these stories play out like a space version of Cowboys & Indians or the great White hunter/explorer/pioneer but only in space. I'm a bit surprised to so often hear the theme of encountering aliens on a full blown different planet that are more primitive than the clever brave Earth man 😂 I see why Star Trek was so revolutionary
It's pretty abrupt, and leaves you wanting more. Poor Stanley Weinbaum died of cancer at an early age not long after, so there is a layer of poignancy.
Shows the Western idea of interfering with alien cultures without understanding the consequences. It’s only at the punchline that we find he had stolen the artefact that the rubbish collectors needed.

Weinbaum died less than two years after the publication of this story, which is still considered a milestone in SF. He was 33.
sierraseven SF?
@@jacobloving6765 Science fiction or more recently speculative fiction. Please don't say "sci-fi".
sierraseven oh I definitely say, “ I fall asleep a to sci-fi.”
@@jacobloving6765 I'm not surprised.
sierraseven what’s wrong with sci-fi?
I'm imagining Tweel l as the Instant Martians from Looney Tunes
Read this over and over when I was a kid, loved it, so good to hear it. Thank-you for posting.
Imaginative, entertaining story and excellent narration, as usual, by Greg Marguerit.
What a great story! Thanks!
Great stories, thanks
Thank you for the video!
Helped me a lot with my reading assignment!

Marvelous!
Nice one! thanks.
Yup you definitely did a disservice to tweel calling him a man should've called him friend
Nice one!

Where's the rest of the story???
+MsTeaRex That's the end.
Oh ok. lol It's been a while and I can't remember why I wrote that....many audiobooks later....:)
It's pretty abrupt, and leaves you wanting more.
Poor Stanley Weinbaum died of cancer at an early age not long after, so there is a layer of poignancy.
+Flora Posteschild Actually... there IS more!!! Weinbaum wrote a sequel called THE VALLEY OF DREAMS!!!
Thanks for the heads up!
Hated the ending but so perfectly written otherwise.
Shows the Western idea of interfering with alien cultures without understanding the consequences. It’s only at the punchline that we find he had stolen the artefact that the rubbish collectors needed.
Disappointing the way the recording ends (as if there should be more).
The sequel, Valley of Dreams
is available on this channel.
