Frequently asked questions
Zenna Henderson is primarily recognized for her "People" stories, a series of science fiction tales about a group of humanoid aliens with psionic abilities who are stranded on Earth.
The "People" stories are generally collected in two main volumes: "Pilgrimage: The Book of the People" and "The People: No Different Flesh." While they can be read independently, reading "Pilgrimage" first provides the initial context for the People's arrival and early experiences on Earth.
