- Biografía breve
- [excerpted from Chicago Tribune online obituary]
Mr. Elrick wrote 38 books, including several "Little Golden Books" for children. Lassie was among his favorite characters, and Spider-Man was close behind, said his wife, Marilyn Elrick. Mrs. Elrick said her husband was drawn to children's books because he had a rapport with kids.
Mr. Elrick also wrote the Science Fiction Handbook for Readers and Writers, published by Chicago Review Press, and wrote for the Wild Kingdom television series. Occasionally, he taught a class on "How to Write a Novel" for area residents in the basement of his Glenview home.
A graduate of Northwestern University, he lived in Glenview for 39 years and recently moved to Mt. Prospect. - Aviso de desambiguación

A cute little read. Loved that show when I was growing up
A cute little read. Loved that show when I was growing up
Horribly dated and limited by its subject matter (sci-fi regardless of quality), this book compiles the terms, places, events, and characters of sci-fi books into one volume. It can be enjoyed for its undeniable thoroughness (limited only by its publication date of 1978) or for the ironic humor of entries like, "ego decimator. (Fiction.) A Uranian torture device that destroys will power via painful psychological whittling." A treasure in my collection.

It turns out that giant space rabbits are Behind It All. You’re welcome. The art is rather nice though.… (más)
