![]() ![]() After several non-genre works as Manus Pinkwater (a form of his name which appears only in books of the 1970s), he began writing tales of genre interest with Wizard Crystal ( 1973) and Magic Camera ( 1974), attracting considerable attention with Lizard Music ( 1976), an sf fantasia in which a young boy begins seeing musical lizards everywhere, finds they are real and in secret occupancy of a nearby invisible Island, and later discovers that they have allied themselves with the "right" sort of humans to oppose pod-people from space. (1941- ) US author whose many stories for children and Young Adult readers from 1970 have as well attracted large adult audiences for their surreal wit, their supple and astringent wisdom and (for sf readers in particular) the wry hilarity of their use of sf venues and themes. ![]()
