Biography
Walter Llewelyn Hughes was a British writer of juvenile Science Fiction novels from Bradley, UK. He wrote under the pen name Hugh Walters. He was a member of the British Interplanetary Society and British Astronomical Association. At the age of 47 he wrote his first book in secret under the pseudonym of Hugh Walters. He later said: "As I was also a magistrate and a local councillor, I felt [that writing science fiction] left me open to ridicule. People tend to treat science fiction as a bit of a joke, so I juggled with my name and came up with Hugh Walters."
Of his writing Walters said: "I believe a good SF story should (1) entertain, (2) educate painlessly, and (3) inspire the young people of today to be the scientists and technicians of tomorrow."
