(1) The substantial Wikipedia piece is on Jean Webster, not Alan Simpson, though it does cite Simpson's book. (2) A used copy of Simpson's book is advertised on Amazon.com. It appears from WorldCat that the book was not widely shelved by American libraries. ----- Original Message ----- Hello to all my Twain friends :) I need to pick your brains ;) Someone mentioned that : 1) fairly substantial Wikipedia piece, on Alan Simpson 2)there is a privately printed book length biography by Alan Simpson who, w= hen he retired from Vassar's presidency, sequestered the Jean Webster colle= ction there until he finished this book. Could someone pretty please, send me the URL's for each of these as I am no= t finding either one :( Thank you all so very very much :) Jules -- Mary S.
