Roberts would probably have been the last to deny. When I first met Kenneth Roberts he was a staff writer for the Saturday Evening Post and at the head of his profession as a reporter and writer of special articles. He had also written nine books about such subjects as immigration. travel. collecting antiques. His studies on immigration had an important part in bringing about the legislation in this field passed in the twenties But he had written no fiction. If Roberts had consulted me about breaking into the field of fiction when he was well past 40 years old. I should have advised him strongly against it.
