About the author
Born in 1917 and died in 2006, Scott F. Grenville was an American author whose creative life stretched well beyond writing. Library and public-domain author records describe him as a prolific writer and illustrator with more than 30 books to his name, and also note that his paintings and sculpture were exhibited around the United States.
Grenville is especially associated with science fiction, and his story Superjoemulloy remains the work most easily found by modern readers and listeners. Its continued presence in Project Gutenberg, LibriVox, and other catalogues has helped keep his name in circulation even though biographical information about him is fairly limited online.
What stands out most is his range: writer, illustrator, painter, and sculptor. Even from the small amount of confirmed information available, he comes across as one of those versatile mid-century creative figures who moved comfortably between visual art and storytelling.
