This page will be updated as I come across other works that engage with Kenneth Roberts fiction and non-fiction. It will consist of works that I come across in my reading and research.
For a comprehensive annotated bibliography of all works by and about Kenneth Roberts up to 1989, reference Jack Bales‘ indispensable book: Kenneth Roberts: The Man and His Works. Scarecrow Author Bibliographies, No. 85 (Metuchen, NJ: The Scarecrow Press, Inc., 1989).

Biographies
Cournos, John and Sybil Norton. Famous Modern American Novelists, Famous Biographies for Young People. (New York: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1963), 40-47. Note: Under Roberts’ name in the tile is the year of his birth with no date of death. Roberts passed away in 1957, so the copy of the book I have (which was published in 1963) should have his date of death. The copyright for the book is 1952, so it’s likely that when the book was reprinted, the authors or the editors did not update such basic information as one’s date of death.
