The Avram Davidson Treasury

I just bought 'The Avram Davidson Treasury'. One story of this collection "Polly Charms, the Sleeping Woman" is introduced by Wolfe who writes "Davidson was never one to explain everything. No more am I" after which I believe he gives some clues to the story which I haven't read yet. The collection is touchingly introduced by Robert Silverberg and every story in it by a well known sf writer. I wonder if these forewords by Wolfe of which he wrote more than one shed any light on his writerly project.

That's a great collection. Davidson wrote mysteries too, so he was adept as withholding clues.
