Bell, Neil (pseudonym of Stephen Southwold, which was apparently a pen name for Stephen H. Critten). THE NINTH EARL OF WHITBY: A NOVEL AND OTHER STORIES. London: Alvin Redman, [1966]. Octavo, boards. First edition. Posthumously published short novel (a detective story) and eight short stories. "Miss-Fire" is an odd story that revives Verne's character Arne Saknussen from VOYAGE TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH. "Vox Populi" is a political fantasy set in the near future. Bell, though largely forgotten now, was a significant producer of science fiction (among other genres) in England between the 1930s and 1950s. Hubin (1994), p. 62. NCBEL IV 524.
