He was the son of a Latvian Jewish banker and an English governess. The family moved to Japan in 1917, then to San Diego, California, in 1920. Bretnor, whose name was taken from the maiden name of his maternal grandmother and who many acquaintances thought to be the perfect English gentleman, never left the United States in the 72 years he lived here and did not once set foot in Great Britain.<P> He is most widely known in the science fiction field for his humorous «Feghoot» pun stories featuring time-traveler Ferdinand Feghoot. He also published a handful of science fiction novels and a single mystery novel (A Killing in Swords) in addition to more than a hundred short stories in both the mystery and science fiction genres. In addition to fiction, he wrote extensively on cats and swords (he was an expert on Japanese swords), and both elements feature in many of his works.

The First Reginald Bretnor MEGAPACK ®
The late Reginald Bretnor (1911-1992) was never a prolific writer – he wrote only a handful of books and about 100 short stories (and more than 120 short-short «Feghoots» under his Grendel Briarton pseudonym) – over a 45-year writing career. In addition to wars, weaponry, and science fiction, Bretnor's broad interests included cats. (And puns. Did we mention the horrible puns?) These subjects are all touched on in this collection. A sly sense of humor permeates Bretnor’s fiction, and as we work to digitize his complete body of work and present it to readers in a series of Reginald Bretnor Megapacks, we know you’ll have fun reading it all. <P> Included in this volume are: <P> SUGAR PLUM<BR> GNURRS COME FROM THE VOODVORK OUT<BR> CAT<BR> MAYBE JUST A LITTLE ONE<BR> UNKNOWN THINGS<BR> BUG-GETTER<BR> AUNT'S FLIGHT<BR> DR.
