ANDOM, R.

ANDOM, R.
   Pseudonym of UK writer Alfred Walter Barrett (1869-1920), who remains best known for We Three and Troddles: A Tale of London Life (1894) and other light fiction in the mode of popular figures like Jerome K.Jerome (1859-1927). His sf and fantasy were similarly derivative; titles of interest include The Strange Adventure of Roger Wilkins and Other Stories (coll 1895), The Identity Exchange: A Story of Some Odd Transformations (1902; vt The Marvellous Adventures of Me 1904), The Enchanted Ship: A Story of Mystery with a Lot of Imagination (1908) and The Magic Bowl, and the Blue-Stone Ring: Oriental Tales with Occi(or Acci)dental Fittings (coll 1909), all exhibiting an uneasy fin de siecle flippancy characteristic of F.ANSTEY but with less weight. In Fear of a Throne (1911) is a RURITANIAN fantasy.
