THE BALLAD OF LOST C'MELL by Cordwainer Smith

Originally published in the October 1962 issue of Galaxy magazine. Re-published in a collection of the author's stories entitled Space Lords in 1965. It appeared in several more Smith collections over the years, as well as far too many collections and anthologies to name here. As it states in the Complete Fiction of Cordwainer Smith, "Rather loosely inspired by some of the magical and conspiratorial scenes of The Romance Three Kingdoms, a 14th-century work by Lo Kuan-chung, according to Smith himself. C'mell herself was inspired by Cat Melanie, one of the felines in Smith's household. She and Lord Jestocost, of course, both figure later in the events of his novel Norstrilia." Read by Darrell T.
