Complete life story of the world's greatest author. The author of the book, Ernest J. Simmons, was described as follows in the Lawrence Eagle Tribune Centennial Edition in 1953:
"Another writer of first magnitude Lawrence can claim as a son is Ernest J. Simmons, class president and right halfback at Lawrence High School in 1921.
He published "English Literature and Culture in Russia" in 1935, "Puskin" a biography in 1937, and "Leo Tolstoy" also a biography last year.
He has a formidable reputation as a judicious appraiser of literary facts and personages and can be expected to reach even greater heights since he is a comparatively young man."
The book is autographed by the author.
