Roger Hargreaves encountered difficulties when he tried to branch-out his ‘Mr Men’ stories into the adult market.

Oh my. This was an excellent anthology. I remember reading and rereading it. I read a lot of anthologies around then, however, and they’ve all turned into one great amorphous collection in my memory, so I’m not sure what was in it now. It included “Unit,” I’m fairly sure, but I’m vague beyond that. I think it was novellas rather than short stories.
The thing about the ‘seventies in particular was that publishers would routinely put bizarre covers on their SFF and, because everybody did it, it wasn’t a big deal. I did think at the time that it was fair enough that the brain sphere looked so surprised under the circumstances.

So.. depiction of a future fascist government forcing your brain to be, like the man?
OR… the actual brain of all sci-fi writers…

JLH:
This is a good opportunity to flag up the excellent Contento Index to SF Anthologies. Here’s the entry for this book, but the whole site is worth exploring if it helps resolves that “great amorphous collection” in your mind!

With that screw going through his brain, I don’t think it’s possible he has even one more tomorrow.

Looks like Heston Blumenthal has gone too far this time! “It comes in this special holder and you eat it with this special drill…”

THEY SAVED PETER KING’S BRAIN

OK, sorry, I apologize for my previous comment — of course Peter King (R) has no brain.
