Outsiders: Children of Wonder Science Fiction Paperback Book by William Tenn

21 fantastic stories of children who are part of, or affected by, the supernatural, the unknown, the outer limits. 

Stories by Poul Andersen, Ray Bradbury, E.M. Forster, Graham Greane, Saki (the famous Sredni Vashtar tale), D.H. Lawrence, Judith Merrill and others. Includes Alice-Mary Schnirring's unusual "Child's Play", describing a homebrewed fantasy roleplaying game long before Gygax: also the original short-story version of Wilmer Shiras' "In Hiding", about super intelligent children who find ways to communicate with each other without adults finding out their special traits.
