About the author
Born in London in 1893, Gerald Bullett was an English man of letters known for being unusually wide-ranging. He wrote novels, essays, short stories, criticism, poetry, and children’s books, and some of his fiction explored supernatural or fantastic themes.
He was educated at Jesus College, Cambridge, and his first book, a volume of poetry, appeared in 1915. Over the years he became a steady literary presence as a reviewer, editor, publisher, and broadcaster, with some books appearing under the pen name Sebastian Fox.
Bullett also worked for the BBC during and after the Second World War, and he is remembered as an early radio voice for literature as well as a prolific author. He died in 1958, leaving behind a body of work that reflects both literary curiosity and a gift for many different forms.
