CLINGERMAN, Mildred (McElroy)

(1918-)

   US writer and book-collector who never worked as a full-time author. Since beginning to publish her shapely stories in 1952 with "Minister without Portfolio" for FSF she was as strongly associated with that magazine as was Zenna HENDERSON. A Cupful of Space (coll 1961) reflects this association in the frequency of stories included which wed a literate tone to a sometimes sentimental cuteness.
