- WILKINS, (William) Vaughan
(1890-1959)
UK writer best known for his historical romances, but who wrote some tales of sf interest. Being Met Together (1944), though marginal, interestingly describes an attempt to rescue Napoleon using a submarine (
UNDER THE SEA) designed by the US engineer and inventor Robert Fulton (1765-1815). After Bath (1945) is an ornately fantastic juvenile.The City of Frozen Fire (1950) is an energetic LOST-WORLD tale set in South Africa. Fanfare for a Witch (1954) is historical fantasy. Valley Beyond Time (1955) describes trips through the DIMENSIONS to the haven of the title and back again to a time-ridden, grief-enfolded Earth.
