Frank R. Stockton (1834–1902) was a hugely popular American humorist, famous for the teasing riddle-story ‘The Lady, or the Tiger?’. He also wrote a great deal of light fantasy and proto-science-fiction, undersea adventures, comic utopias and gadget tales, with a wit and gentleness that make him a distinctive voice among the genre’s Victorian ancestors.
