Ralph Sholto

Very little confirmed biographical information appears to be publicly available about Ralph Sholto, but the published record shows a science-fiction writer active in the early 1950s.

His story "And That's How It Was, Officer" appeared in the July 1952 issue of If: Worlds of Science Fiction. Another known work, The Clean and Wholesome Land, has remained available through Project Gutenberg and later audio collections, which suggests that this short fiction has continued to find readers long after its original magazine era.

Taken together, the work associated with his name points to a writer interested in classic mid-century science-fiction ideas, including satire, social control, and strange twists in everyday life. Because reliable biographical sources are scarce, the focus stays on the stories themselves rather than on details of his personal life.
