Wetjen, Albert Richard: Pearl Hunger (2021) V1, 3 March 2021
Albert Richard Wetjen (1900-1948) ran away to sea at 14, travelled widely, and turned to writing adventure stories in the early 1920s. He wrote for both the low-paying pulps (Action Stories, Adventure) and the high paying slicks (Colliers, Saturday Evening Post); he continued travelling, visiting Australia in the mid-1930s as a now celebrated author. This collection, prepared for Mobil Read Library by Terry Walker, includes stories from both pulps and slicks. With thanks to Matthias Kaether for some of the pulp stories; the others are from the Australian National Library on-line newspaper resource TROVE.
