''Get Off the Unicorn'' is a collection of short science fiction by Anne McCaffrey, first published in paperback by Del Rey Books in June 1977. Eleven of the fourteen stories were previously published in various magazines and anthologies. Initial sales were brisk; two additional printings were required by year's end. Del Rey reprinted ''Unicorn'' regularly throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and its edition remains in print as of 2015. Corgi issued a British edition in 1979 and an Australian edition in 1980.〔(ISFDB publishing history )〕 An audiobook based on the Corgi edition was released in 1985.〔(National Library of Australia )〕 Severn House issued a hardcover edition in 1982.〔 The title was derived by accident: McCaffrey's working title had been "Get of the Unicorn" but this was misprinted as "Get Off the Unicorn" in Ballantine's roster of unfilled contracts. After McCaffrey's editor, Judy-Lynn del Rey was repeatedly asked what "Get Off the Unicorn" was, del Rey asked McCaffrey what she could do about that theme.〔 〕 ==Contents== * "Lady in the Tower" (''The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction'', April 1959) * "A Meeting of Minds" (''The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction'', January 1969) * "Daughter" (''The Many Worlds of Science Fiction'', October 1971) * "Dull Drums" (''Future Quest'', September 1973) * "Changeling" (original to this collection) * "Weather on Welladay" (''Galaxy Science Fiction'', March 1969) * "The Thorns of Barevi" (''The Disappearing Future: A Symposium of Speculation'', 1970) * "Horse from a Different Sea" (original to this collection) * "The Great Canine Chorus" (''Infinity One'', January 1970) * "Finder's Keeper" (''The Haunt of Horror'', August 1973) * "A Proper Santa Claus" (''Demon Kind'', March 1973) * "The Smallest Dragonboy" (''Science Fiction Tales'', 1973) * "Apple" (''Crime Prevention in the 30th Century'', 1969) * "Honeymoon" (original to this collection)〔(Index to Science Fiction Anthologies and Collections )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Get Off the Unicorn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
