Kenneth Bulmer (1921-2005) was active in British SF fan circles at the same time as Brian Aldiss and George Locke, and edited nine editions of New Writing in Science Fiction. Although his preference was for SF, he was a master craftsman who could write excellently in any genre, having great success with the Adam Hardy Napoleonic Maritime Adventures, the Viking series, and the U-Boat Sea Wolf series. He published fifteen TV tie-in novels for The Professionals under the pen-name Ken Blake. He is believed to have used at least 16 pseudonyms for published work.

Provenance: We have, over many years, acquired a large quantity of the collection and stock of the celebrated bibliographer and bookseller, George Locke, of Ferret Fantasy, who sadly died in 2019.
