Fletcher Pratt Libri
Murray Fletcher Pratt fu una voce letteraria distintiva, noto per uno stile di prosa che ricordava quello di Bernard DeVoto. La sua opera spazia da accattivanti racconti fantasy a approfonditi resoconti storici, in particolare sulla storia navale e sulla guerra civile americana. È celebre per le sue collaborazioni fantasy che hanno esplorato umoristicamente i confini tra realtà e magia. L'approccio di Pratt alla scrittura fu profondamente informato dal suo interesse per il dettaglio e la precisione, evidente sia nei suoi mondi fittizi che nei suoi studi storici.
