Fletcher Pratt

    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.
