CLAUDY, CARL H(arry)

(1879-1957)

   US author of some 20 sf stories, all for the magazine American Boy. Four were revised and expanded into a series of juvenile novels with the general heading Adventures in the Unknown: The Mystery Men of Mars (1933), A Thousand Years a Minute (1933), The Land of No Shadow (1933) and The Blue Grotto Terror (1934). This was probably the most vigorous and imaginative juvenile sf book series up to that time. Two of these stories in their original magazine form, together with "Tongue of the Beast" (1939), appeared in The Year after Tomorrow (anth 1954) ed Lester DEL REY, Carl Carmer (1893-1976) and Cecile Matschat.
