Diane, I can point you in the right direction concerning a website for T.H. Huxley's autograph; but first let me give you some info on your horror book. You wrote...It Walks the Woods" by Alan Grant, It was published in 1936 by Ivor Nicholson and Watson. I'ts a horror story set in England. The dust jacket write up states that this is the authors first book, and that this terrifying tale should place the author into the mantle left behind by the untimely death of Edgar Wallace. I found two references that say Alan Grant is not a real person, but rather a pseudonym. Anonyma and Pseudonyma, London,1927, says Alan Grant is the pseudonym for Arthur Douglas Howden Smith (1887-1945), aka Arthur D. Howden-Smith. I could find nothing to verify this information, however. Howden Smith wrote several science fiction stories, including Grey Maiden, 1929, but SF was not his usual genre. While searching for a link between Howden Smith and Alan Grant, I discovered the second pseudonym. Geometry.Net says that Alan Grant is the pseudonym for Gerald Clarke, author of the science fiction story, Fiction, published in 1941. Now to point you in the right direction concerning T.H. Huxley's autograph. I suggest you contact your fellow countryman John Wilson. He should be able to assist you. On his website, www.manuscripts.co.uk John Wilson provides some examples of forgeries, including one of T.H. Huxley's autograph. After you get on his website, click on Forgeries. When you get to the Forgeries page, click on Miscellaneous Forgeries, where you will see the T.H Huxley forgery.
