The Squirrel's Tale

Ron Ellik's TAFF trip report from his trip to the 1962 Eastercon, Ronvention in Harrogate after he won the 1961 TAFF Race.

"The greatest part of this document appeared serially in the official organ of the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society, Shangri-L'Affaires, in 1962 and 1963 (issues number 62–65)" [November 1962 to #65 May 1963]. In May 1965, Ellik revised it and added a new Afterword. After his death, it was published posthumously by Bruce Pelz (or "a LASFS team led by" him) in January 1969, with cover by Bjo Trimble and her illustrations restenciled from the Shaggy.
