Book description
Time and Chance is the autobiography of Hugo, World Fantasy and SFWA
Grand Master Award-winning author, L. Sprague de Camp. It is a
fascinating insight into a man who began writing in the late 1930's and
remained an active voice in the genre up until his death in the last
year of the twentieth century, and who was a prime mover in the
formation of the fields of Science Fiction and Fantasy as we know them
today. Lyon Sprague de Camp was born in 1907 and died in 2000. During
a writing career that spanned seven decades, he wrote over a hundred
books in the areas of science fiction, fantasy, historical fiction,
non-fiction and biography. Although arguably best known for his
continuation of Robert E. Howard's Conan stories, de Camp was an
important figure in the formative period of modern SF, alongside the
likes of Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein, and was a winner of the
Hugo, World Fantasy Life Achievement and SFWA Grand Master awards.
