KINROSS, Albert

KINROSS, Albert
(1870-1929)
   UK writer in various genres whose The Fearsome Island (1896), most of which takes the form of a recently discovered 16th-century manuscript, describes its protagonist's experiences after being shipwrecked on an unknown ISLAND full of alarms and delights - including a huge mechanical man, an ominous castle which has many perilous marvels, and a Caliban-like native. The maker of all this, it turns out, is a cruel Spanish inventor who left his homeland long ago on a pre-Columbianexpedition to the Americas. Some of the stories in Within the Radius (coll 1901) are sf.
