LITTLE FUZZY

'''Little Fuzzy''' is the name of a 1962 science fiction novel by H. Beam Piper. It is generally seen as a work of juvenile fiction. It was nominated for the 1963 Hugo Award for Best Novel.
The story revolves around determining whether a small furry species discovered on the planet Zarathustra is sapient. Along the way a gentle kind of libertarianism that emphasizes sincerity and honesty is advocated.
Piper admitted in 1965 that Little Fuzzy was inspired by Kevin "Fuzzy" Sheffield, an eccentric and strange friend of his. Today, Fuzzy has been spotted in small Central Oregon towns, where spectators claim he strikingly resembles Piper's character.
The book was followed by a sequel, ''Fuzzy Sapiens''.
In the wake of Piper's suicide, rumor spread of a lost "second sequel"; eventually Ace Books hired William Tuning to write it; he produced the critically-acclaimed ''Fuzzy Bones''. Tuning announced plans to follow up on ''Bones''; however, at this point, Piper's lost manuscript was discovered, and published as ''Fuzzies and Other People''.
Ace also hired Ardath Mayhar to write ''Golden Dreams: A Fuzzy Odyssey'', which tells the events of ''Little Fuzzy'' from the viewpoint of the Fuzzies (or 'Ga'shta', as they call themselves) rather than the humans.
