Get Off the Unicorn

Über

Get Off the Unicorn is a 1977 collection of short science fiction by Anne McCaffrey. Eleven of the fourteen stories were previously published in various magazines and anthologies.
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.
