		Pratt's last work, The Compact History of the United States Navy was completed one week before he died.

	Synopsis: Sir Harold and The Gnome King (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		IN JANUARY 1939, I met Fletcher Pratt in New York and was soon enrolled in his circle of naval war-game players.
		He had in mind a fantasy based upon the premise that, by manipulating symbolic logic (which I happened to be studying), one could transfer oneself to any of the multitude of possible universes described in fiction, myth, and legend.
		Pratt and I saw to it that Harold began to mature.

	Amazon.com: Well of the Unicorn: Books: Fletcher Pratt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In the late 1940s Pratt (1897-1956; not to be confused with the group "The Fletcher Pratt"!) was a well-known military historian; several of his works in this field are, or were recently, still in print (including one of the others with Palacios maps).
		Pratt has interesting things to say about a number of topics, from sex to politics, not all of them immediately evident, but clear enough when you start looking for them, in the words and actions of minor as well as major characters.
		(Pratt seems to have felt that inflexible thinking was often a source of problems in itself.) Characters express views, often tied directly to their experiences, and the reader is left to draw conclusions.

		Fletcher Pratt could spend a paragraph or two on that campaign, and when done you'll notice your leg's hurt.
		My favorite chapters are the early ones, where Pratt lays out the big picture of the war and discusses the lightning moves of diplomacy that kept Kentucky and Missouri in the Union and thereby gave the Union the strategic advantage.
		Fletcher Pratt was determined to remind you that the Civil War was a WAR, long and bloody and dramatic, with the issue in doubt from the begining till very near the end.

	L Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt: The Compleat Enchanter - an infinity plus review
		Campbell was a man with a highly structured mind (a pretty odd bloody structure, some might maintain, but that's beside the point), and he was eager to see fantasy codified, so that it would have rules in the same way that the laws of science supposedly governed the genre he preferred, science fiction.
		De Camp's and Pratt's pretence that they were applying just such a set (or series of sets) of rules to magic -- the underpinning of almost all genre fantasy -- was therefore right up the Cambellian street.
		It's clear that de Camp and Pratt were aware of this, because all five of the tales here don't so much end -- in some kind of climax or resolution -- as just peter out.

	Dani Zweig's Belated Reviews #22: De Camp, Pratt, and the Enchanter
		It was one of those too-rare partnerships in which both authors' strengths combined to produce something different from the sum of their parts.
		Pratt and de Camp fall somewhere between these extremes.
		Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt collaborated on a number of other light fantasies, none of which were in the same class as the Enchanter tales.

	The Independent Weekly: The Fletcher Pratt
		Detroit is definitely still "Detroit Rock City" if you take the new release by hometown sons The Fletcher Pratt (named for the noted science fiction writer) as proof.
		Nine By Nine, currently lauded by the underground "pop" press, promises to break The Fletcher Pratt out of the genre with the ferocity of a jungle cat.
		The Fletcher Pratt, by virtue of their dual songwriters and eclectic influences, explore a wide range of material on Nine By Nine, from the frenzied, balls-to-the-wall garage rock of "Living in the House" to the new wave organ hooks of the power pop-esque "Spin Label."

	Great Science-Fiction & Fantasy Works: Fletcher Pratt
		This is a brief discussion of Fletcher Pratt and, of course, of some books by Fletcher Pratt.
		Just as with the author list itself, omission of a particular item may mean I didn't think highly enough of the omitted item, or it may simply mean that I have not yet sufficient familiarity with it.
		My intent is no more than to give you a rough idea of what kinds of tales Pratt tells, how those tales are usually told, and what makes them and Pratt worthy; in sum, to help you rank Pratt (and the works by Pratt listed here) on your personal literary "to do" list.

		Bio: Psych-pop quartet the Fletcher Pratt split the difference between the garage rock scene that gripped their native Detroit at the start of the 21st century and the more ambitious psychedelic leanings of Elephant 6 bands the Lilys and Cotton Mather.
		The combination works wonders, both adding more melodic and structural interest to primal three-chord rock and giving some much needed immediacy and heft to a style that can occasionally be a little too precious.
		Taking their name from the noted science fiction author Murray Fletcher Pratt (1897-1956), the Fletcher Pratt formed in Detroit in the early '90s around the partnership of singer/songwriters George Dubber and Stephen Palmer.

		And if indeed he wrote more of the songs he sings, he seems more willing to throw a wrench in the songwriting works: like most guitar-pop bands, The Fletcher Pratt are at their best when they play it least straight.
		A moment of "Creep"-like guitar chank sets up a break into the chorus, which is goaded on by twin-channel compressed guitar stings.
		If Vocalist No. 2 can develop his leads and the band color outside the lines of the arrangements a bit more, the Fletcher Pratt will be one of those bands that transcends the power-pop ghetto.

	Fletcher Pratt: Nine By Nine Aversion.com Review
		Though there’s nothing anachronistic about the band’s songs, there are enough pop commonalties on this album to make it a certain shoo-in as one of the best bang-for-the buck albums of the year.
		Though worship of the highbrow-pop aesthetic has dominated indie pop for the past few years, The Fletcher Pratt reverts to the strains of no-holds-barred good times.
		Though the fundamentals of pop form the basis for the band’s sound, there’s still enough pure rock power throughout this record to avoid some of the more fey tendencies that frequently creep into the styles purveyed by masters of pop.

		Fletcher Pratt's 1948 novel, The Well of the Unicorn deals with political turmoil in the land of Dalarna.
		Intrigues and battles are interwoven with political discussions and reflections on the consequences of using magic (also a theme in Pratt's The Blue Star).
		The Well of the Unicorn is anything but dry: Pratt's characters (and their sex lives) are very different from Tolkien's rather idealized world.
