HARRIS, J. Henry

HARRIS, J. Henry
(? -?)
   UK writer whose uneasily fin-de-siecle sf novel, A Romance in Radium (1906), follows the investigative journey to Earth of a feathered female ALIEN, a member of an angel-like species from 100,000,000 miles away; her people are confused as to why earlier visitors stayed on our planet and became mortal. The answer is SEX - or, as JHH puts it, marriage. Angels, it seems, cannot get enough of marriage.
