About the author

Keith Bennett is a fairly obscure science fiction author whose name survives mainly through The Rocketeers Have Shaggy Ears. The story appeared in Planet Stories in Spring 1950 and was later reprinted in other science fiction collections and editions, including a Project Gutenberg ebook.

Because reliable biographical information is scarce, not much can be confirmed about his life beyond the publication record of his fiction. What can be said with confidence is that he wrote during the pulp magazine era, and that his surviving work is still remembered by readers interested in vintage space adventure.

For listeners who enjoy classic rocket-ship storytelling and old-school planetary adventure, Bennett's work offers a glimpse of the fast-moving, imaginative style that shaped early popular science fiction.
