The Big Front Yard

by Clifford D. Simak

1959 Hugo Award -- Best Novelette

Only 59 pages but more unforgetable than most full-length novels. One of the few stories, in any category, that I unequivocally recommend to everyone - from young adults to senior citizens.

Heart-warming, uplifting, cantankerous tale spiced up with mysterious aliens brought "down to earth" by the universal language, business.
