Pseudonym of UK publisher and anthologist Lionel Leventhal (1937- ), founder or co-founder of several firms, including Arms and Armour Press and Greenhill Press; at one point he also controlled Lund Humphries Publishing and Chatham Publishing. Leventhal is of genre interest for the Anthologies listed below, all reproduced from the original illustrated magazines, and all edited as by Alan K Russell; he also signed some material as by A Kingsley Russell. The accompanying notes to these anthologies are inexact at best, but the selections are generous. [JC]
