PALMER, Jane

PALMER, Jane
(1946-)
   UK writer and illustrator who began writing sf with The Planet Dweller (1985) which, with its sequel Moving Moosevan (1990), presents a mildly comic set of parodies of sf tropes in dealing with alien INVASIONS and the like. A somewhat greater force of imagination is demonstrated in The Watcher (1986), which features brave young girls, a mysterioussurvivor from Victorian times, an ANDROID which longs for human status, and the rulers of the Universe.
