Tales of Wonder was a British science fiction magazine published from 1937 to 1942, with Walter Gillings as editor. It was published by The World's Work, a subsidiary of William Heinemann, as part of a series of genre titles that included Tales of Mystery and Detection and Tales of the Uncanny. Gillings was able to attract some good material, despite the low payment rates he was able to offer; he also included many reprints from U.S. science fiction magazines. The magazine was apparently more successful than the other genre titles issued by The World's Work, since Tales of Wonder was the only one to publish more than a single issue.

  • Tales of Wonder was a British science fiction magazine published from 1937 to 1942, with Walter Gillings as editor. It was published by The World's Work, a subsidiary of William Heinemann, as part of a series of genre titles that included Tales of Mystery and Detection and Tales of the Uncanny. Gillings was able to attract some good material, despite the low payment rates he was able to offer; he also included many reprints from U.S. science fiction magazines. The magazine was apparently more successful than the other genre titles issued by The World's Work, since Tales of Wonder was the only one to publish more than a single issue. Arthur C. Clarke made his first professional sale to Tales of Wonder, with two science articles. Gillings also published William F. Temple's first story, some early material by John Wyndham, and "The Prr-r-eet" by Eric Frank Russell. American writers who appeared in the magazine included Murray Leinster and Jack Williamson; these were both reprints, but some new material from the U.S. did appear, including Lloyd A. Eshbach's "Out of the Past", and S.P. Meek's "The Mentality Machine". With the advent of World War II, paper shortages and Gillings' call up into the army made it increasingly difficult to continue, and the sixteenth issue, dated Spring 1942, was the last. Tales of Wonder was not the first British science fiction magazine, but it was the first one aimed at an adult market, and its success made it apparent that a science fiction magazine could survive in the UK.

  • 《神奇传说》(英語:Tales of Wonder)是1937至1942年出版的英国,由沃尔特·吉林斯主编,旗下的世界之作出版社发行,一同发行的纸浆杂志还有《神秘和侦破传说》与《怪诞传说》。《神奇传说》的稿件费率偏低,但吉林斯还是买到一些好作品发表,同时转载许多美国科幻杂志文章。世界之作的同期其他杂志都只发行一期,所以《神奇传说》显然更加热卖。 亚瑟·查理斯·克拉克卖出的前两部作品和发表的第一部小说均在《神奇传说》刊登,吉林斯选登的还有的部分早期文章,以及的《普雷特》。美国作家方面除转载和杰克·威廉森的作品外,也有的《摆脱过去》和S·P·米克的《心态机器》等原创小说。第二次世界大战爆发后,杂志因吉林斯应召入伍和纸张短缺越来越难以维系,最终标识1942年春的第16期成为绝响。《神奇传说》不是首本英国科幻杂志,但却是该国第一本面向成人市场的科幻杂志,其成功足以证明英国也有科幻杂志生存的土壤。 (zh)
