Ah, Zenna Henderson.  She was one of the best writers at portraying
believable, three dimensional children.  This was probably due to being a
school teacher for a number of years.  Her best known stories deal with
"The People", a group of alien humans who fled the destruction of the
world and are now living hidden on Earth.  These aliens have psychic
abilities and how they interact with normal humanity forms the core of
most of these stories.  These stories also formed the basis for an O.K.
film "The People" [1971] starring Kim Darby and William Shatner.

And for those of us who have already read all of her books (which aren't
that hard to find), there are a few uncollected stories. They include:

 "Thrumthing and Out", Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine, 10/72
 "The First Stroke", Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine, 10/77
 "There Was a Garden", _Cassandra Rising_ [1978], edited by Alice Laurance
 "Tell Us a Story", Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine, 10/80 (also appears
    in _The Best SF of the Year #10_ [1981], edited by Terry Carr)
