Digby George Gerahty (1898-1981), who wrote under the pen-names of Robert Standish and Stephen Lister, was an English novelist and short story writer most productive during the 1940s and 1950s. He was also a featured contributor to the ''Saturday Evening Post''. His novels include ''Elephant Walk'', which was later made into a film starring Elizabeth Taylor. In the semi-autobiographical ''Marise'' (1950), Gerahty (writing as "Stephen Lister") claimed that he and two publicist colleagues had covertly "invented" the Loch Ness Monster in 1933 as part of a contract to improve business for local hotels; he repeated his claim to researcher Henry Bauer in 1980.〔Bauer, Henry H.
