Since the Wikipedia article cites Simpson's book about Jean Webster, it wouldn't be surprising that the title of it might be found there, too. Also a search using the Boolean descriptors Alan Simpson and Jean Webster probably would turn it up.

Ah, that's too bad that it is not on Alan, the piece on jean was not enough=
 for what I was looking for.

And the title of Alan's book please?????
As there are about 5 or 6 books by alan s.  and none of them give me a clue=
 for the one that Alan s of vassal wrote!
:(

Thanks,
Can anyone else give me more precise info?
Pretty please!

Thank you!!
Jules
