This early work by Abraham Grace Merritt was originally published
in 1917 and we are now republishing it with a brand new
introductory biography. 'Through the Dragon Glass' is a fantasy
short story by the author of the 'Moon Pool'. It tells the tale of
adventurous explorers who discover an unknown world. Abraham Grace
Merritt - also known by his byline, A. Merritt - was born on the
20th January, 1884 in New Jersey, America. Merritt's stories
typically revolved around conventional pulp magazine themes. His
heroes are gallant Irishmen or Scandinavians, his villains
treacherous Germans or Russians and his heroines often virginal,
mysterious and scantily clad. Merritt married twice, once in the
1910s to Eleanore Ratcliffe, with whom he raised an adopted
daughter, and again in the thirties to Eleanor H. Johnson.

the Stone God, The Drone, The Fox Woman, The Women of the Wood and
The Last Poet and the Robots, the collaborative story The Challenge
from Beyond, and the fragments The White Road and When Old Gods
Wake.
