PALLANDER, Edwin

(? -?)

   UK author of whom nothing is known except that he published several books and collaborated with Ellsworth DOUGLASS on one story, "The Wheels of Dr Gynochio Gyves" (1899). Across the Zodiac: A Story ofAdventure (1896) is a Vernean interplanetary romance which carries its three protagonists (VERNE's usual complement) through the Solar System in a spaceship captained by a mad scientist. The Adventures of a Micro-Man (1902), one of the tales of miniaturization common to the period (GREATAND SMALL), shrinks its protagonists to mites, subjecting them to adventures before they grow again.
