(1836-1907) US author best-known for Story of a Bad Boy ( 1879 ); he was also responsible for Pansy's Wish: A Christmas Fantasy, with a Moral ( 1869 ), which was fantasy. Out of His Head, a Romance (coll of linked stories 1862 ) and The Queen of Sheba ( 1877 ) are early examples of the marginal subgenre of sf in which contemporary explorations in Psychology suggest storylines ranging from Amnesia to metempsychosis (and ultimately, it might be added, channelling).
