BRAMAH, Ernest

   Working name of UK writer Ernest Bramah Smith (1868-1942) for all his writing. His series of tales in which the Chinese Kai Lung tells stories to stave off punishment, like Scheherazade, contains some fantasy elements. The Kai Lung series includes: The Wallet of Kai Lung (coll 1900), the first story in which was republished as The Transmutation of Ling (1911 chap); Kai Lung's Golden Hours (coll 1922) with intro by Hilaire BELLOC; Kai Lung Unrolls his Mat (coll 1928); The Story of Wan and the Remarkable Shrub and The Story of Ching-Kwei and the Destinies (coll 1927 chap US), offering 2 stories from the previous volume, another story from which appeared as Kin Weng and the Miraculous Tusk 1941 chap); The Moon of Much Gladness (1932; vt The Return of Kai Lung 1937 US) and Kai Lung Beneath the Mulberry Tree (coll 1940). The first three titles were assembled as The Kai Lung Omnibus (omni 1936); The Celestial Omnibus (coll 1963) is a selection; Kai Lung: Six (coll 1974) assembles tales EB did not himself collect. Of sf interest is What Might Have Been (1907 anon; with new preface vt The Secret of the League 1909 as by EB), a somewhat tedious anti-socialist melodrama, involving flight with belted-on mechanical wings; the sequel, a future- WAR tale called "The War Hawks" (1908), appeared in The Specimen Case (coll 1924).
