Cordwainer Smith wrote wonderful (if idiosyncratic) short stories. 
Unfortunately there are far too few of them.  His stories have a romantic,
folk-tale quality that I can occasionally find in the very best juvenile
fantasy, but I've never seen matched in science fiction.  "The Ballad of
Lost C'Mell", "The Lady Who Sailed _The Soul_", "Scanners Live In Vain",
"The Game of Rat and Dragon", "A Planet Named Shayol", among others, are
all stories to conjure by.  Really, really, *really* recommended.  One of
my all time favorites.
