Stories by George Groth

George Groth is a pseudonym that Martin Gardner used since 1935; he once gave himself a scathing book review using that name. Now Dana Richards has adopted the name in the puzzle world. Richards is a professor of computer science at George Mason University and is embarked on a biography of Martin Gardner.
