I'll Build Your Dream Castle

Jack Vance

First published September 1947
Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story

Notes

In 1962, Vance revised this story to create "Dream Castle", which is longer and with significantly revised wording. It is not clear if this story ever appeared in print prior to Vance Integral Edition in 2005. Vance later revised this story again for Lost Moons published by Underwood-Miller in 1982. Again, the wording was modified from earlier versions, although less significantly than the change between this story and "Dream Castle".
