Before the Fact by Zenna Henderson - Renwick, with too much time on his hands, was bored. He turned to Mead, in his discontent, only to discover some frightening aspects of his friend's hobby of collecting children's games and rhymes.
Zenna Henderson was born in 1917 in Tucson, Arizona and began reading science fiction when she was 12. She graduated from Arizona State College, now Arizona State University, in 1940 and taught school, primarily in Tucson, mainly first grade. Zenna is one of 203 women recognized in the book "Partners in wonder : women and the birth of science fiction" who wrote stories that were published in US Science Fiction Magazines from 1926 to 1965.
Her debut science fiction short story appeared in 1951, marking the beginning of a prolific career that saw over 60 of her works featured in pulp sci-fi magazines. The 1972 ABC TV movie of the week The People starring William Shatner and Kim Darby is based on the Zenna Henderson story Pottage. You can watch The People on YouTube.
