Illustrator's name from cover.
Originally published in Astra's Tower Special Leaflet, #5, in May, 1961.
Later reprinted in bowdlerized form in
- Niekas #16 in June, 1966, and in
- "Tolkien and the Critics; Essays on J. R. R. Tolkien's the Lord of the Rings" edited by Neil D. Isaacs, Rose A. Zimbardo, in 1968; this is the original version.
Date of publication inferred from "About the Author" which states that
- "Darkover Landfall was published in January this year" (actually in December, 1972)
and that
- "Hunters of the Red Moon... will be published by DAW Books this summer" (actually in September, 1973).
- On the other hand, in "Introduction" the author writes "when this essay was first written, almost ten years ago now".
