There doesn't seem to be a solid cool page on Henry Treece, but I found this
in a review at Amazon UK, the page about a Poul Anderson book called "The
Broken Sword."
Poul Anderson was one of the earliest SCA members (and then went away to
become a famous author). Keith might have that book. But the Henry Treece
mention is BIG:
"P.S. I agree
with the earlier reviewer who mentioned Henry Treece, another
writer who came before Tolkien and in my opinion did the job a
whole lot better."
I had read six Henry Treece books in Jr. High, and never got hold of Tolkien
until I was in college.
