How about: Oct 52 "Unpleasantness at Bludleigh Court" Jun 55 "A Slice of Life" Dec 55 "Mulliner's Buck-U-Uppo" Dec 58 "Honeysuckle Cottage" plus "Ways to Get a Gal" in DREAM WORLD, Feb 57 These are most likely reprints from some other source. F&SF was fond of this sort of thing in the 50's. Among other such "unlikely" authors are: Truman Capote, Lewis Carroll, Leslie Charteris (5 sf Saint stories --- there is a recent collection of all of the short sf Saint stories in hardcover, THE FANTASIC SAINT), Anton Chekhov, Agatha Christie, Daniel Defoe, Charles Dickens, Allen Drury, C.S. Forester, Robert Graves, Edward Everett Hale, Washington Irving, Shirley Jackson, C.S. Lewis, Jack London. Ogden Nash, Robert Nathan, Edgar Allen Poe, Saki, James Thur- ber, Mark Twain, Jules Verne, Gore Vidal, Cornell Wollrich, and Oscar Wilde. Some of these authors also had stories in other sf magazines. Other magazines also had the following: Alan Arkin, Steven Vincent Benet, Al Capp, Sid Caesar, Guy deMaupassant, Franz Kafka, Rudyard Kipling, Madeleine L'Engle, Alexandre Pushkin, Ayn Rand, William Shakespeare (!), and Tennessee Williams. The period I examined for the above is 1951-1965, using THE INDEX TO THE SCIENCE FICTION MAGAZINES, 1951-1965 by Erwin S. Strauss and THE INDEX TO THE SCIENCE FICTION MAGAZINES, 1951- 1965 by Norman Metcalf. F&SF continues to feature reprints from off-the-beaten-orbit authors, a recent one that I can remember off-hand is a Woody Allen story from THE NEW YORKER about 5 years ago. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC Maynard, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}! decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA <"Bibliography is my Business">
