Bøger af Leigh Brackett

Leigh Douglass Brackett (1915-1978) was an American writer, particularly of science fiction; she is one of the few women writers to be at the forefront of science fiction's "Golden Age." Brackett was also a screenwriter, known for her work on films from The Big Sleep (1945) to The Empire Strikes Back (1980).
