From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

Alexander Hill Key (September 21, 1904 - July 25, 1979) was an American science fiction writer, most of whose books were aimed at a juvenile audience.

His novel Escape to Witch Mountain was made into a popular film in 1972 and again in 1995. His novel The Incredible Tide became a popular anime series, Future Boy Conan.

Like Zenna Henderson, he is known for his portrayals of alien but humanlike people who have psychic powers and a close communion with nature, and who can speak with animals. In The Strange White Doves, he professed his belief that animals are conscious and aware, and have subtle ways of communicating, perhaps via telepathy.
