“The Green Man of Graypec” by Festus Pragnell. New York: Greenberg, (1950). First revised edition (first published in 1935). Jacket design by Hannes Bok.
From the blurb on the dust jacket:
One minute, Learoy Spofford was a former American tennis champion, enjoying a visit to London with his lovely wife – the next minute he was a muscular savage on the weird world of Graypec, fighting for the possession of a primitive but beautiful blonde. Catapulted by a strange science into a universe existing within an atom, not knowing if he could ever return, Learoy finds himself involved in the greeds and lusts of primeval men and women at war with a crustacean form of life. Suspense builds through climax after climax to a finish which is as startling as the premise. This is the novel about which H. G. Wells said: “. . . I think it’s a very good story, indeed, of the fantastic scientific type and I was much amused and pleased to find myself . . . in it.”
