Author:Elisabeth Beresford

Locus1 claims that The Wooden Gun was written by Inez McAlister Faber, (1897-1994), under the pseudonym "Elisabeth Beresford". This seems unlikely. The listed Web page for Elisabeth Beresford includes no such information, nothing that would imply this was a pseudonym, and quite different birth & death dates. In addition, a writer clearly familiar with Inez Faber writes in his blog that: ''In 1927, Inez Faber began writing under the pen name Elizabeth Beresford. A few years later she dropped the pen name but continued to write, and for the next 25 years she wrote "A Farm Woman Speaks Up" for the Des Moines Register and Tribune and "Out Here on Soap Creek" for the Centerville Iowegian.''

Various standard bibliographies of Beresford, such as that at Bookseller World and Books-And-Writers list additional books by Beresford, several of which look as if they also have sufficient speculative fiction to justify being included in this database.
