About the author
Scott F. Grenville was an American writer whose dates are listed by LibriVox as 1917–2006. The same source describes him as a prolific author and illustrator of more than 30 books, and notes that he also created paintings and sculpture exhibited around the United States.
For many readers and listeners today, Grenville is most closely associated with Superjoemulloy, a short science-fiction story published in If in November 1960. That story has remained accessible through Project Gutenberg and audiobook platforms, helping keep his name in circulation even though detailed information about his life is hard to confirm.
Because trustworthy biographical material appears to be limited online, Grenville remains something of an obscure figure. What can be said with confidence is that he was remembered as a multi-talented creative person whose work crossed writing, illustration, and visual art.
