GILLMORE, Parker

GILLMORE, Parker
(? -?)
   UK writer, mostly of travel books published 1869-93. His sf novel, The Amphibion's [sic!] Voyage (1885), is a tale shaped suspiciously like a travelogue, but manages to evoke some interest for the eponymous land-and-sea vehicle, which carries its passengers into encounters with a sea monster or two.
