Through Time and Space with Benedict Breadfruit (and Friends)

This volume assemples 8 tales featuring Benedict Breadfruit—plus 5 featuring his inspiration, Ferdinand Feghoot.

Reginald Bretnor’s long-running “Through Time and Space with Ferdinand Feghoot” series (or the Feghoots, as they are affectionately called) began in 1956 in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. They were published under by byline “Grendel Briarton”—an anagram of “Reginald Bretnor”—and consisted of one- or two-page stories that made perfect sense and always ended in a horrible pun.

Of course, after Feghoot launched so spectacularly, Reginald Bretnor’s rising reputation as a punster had to be challenged by another of the science fiction field’s great punsters: Randall Garrett. Randy swiftly created a rival series featuring Benedict Breadfuit.

Enjoy these 13 pun-filled tales. No matter how much the puns hurt!
