FAWCETT, F(rank) Dubrez

(1891-1968)

   UK writer active in various genres under his own name and several others from 1923; non-sf pseudonyms included Cass Borelli, Henri Dupres, Madame E. Farra, "GRIFF", Eugene Glen, Duke Linton, CoolidgeMcCann, Elmer Eliot Saks, Ben Sarto and Hank Spencer. Much of his output consisted of such thrillers as Miss Otis Comes to Piccadilly (1946), as by Ben Sarto, and its many quite popular successors. The Wonderful Isle ofUlla-Gapoo (1946) is a mild fantasy. FDF's only known sf novel proper is Hole in Heaven (1954), about a human body possessed by an other-dimensional ALIEN. Air-Gods' Parade (1935), as by Simpson Stokes, and The Dubious Adventures of Baron Munchhausen (1948) may be of some interest.
