About the author
Born in London on December 30, 1893, Gerald William Bullett was an English man of letters: novelist, essayist, short story writer, critic, poet, and publisher. He studied at Jesus College, Cambridge, and built a career that moved easily across genres, from literary fiction and essays to supernatural stories and books for younger readers.
A few of his works appeared under the pseudonym Sebastian Fox. During and after the Second World War he worked with the BBC, and he is remembered not only for his books but also for his role as a broadcaster at a time when radio was becoming an important home for literature.
Bullett died on January 3, 1958. Today he is especially noted for the breadth of his writing and for the way he combined literary seriousness with a taste for the strange, the imaginative, and the entertaining.
