Keith Robertson (1972) - Profiles in Literature No. 13

“Profiles in Literature” is a series of half-hour interviews with leading authors, illustrators, and editors of children’s books, originally recorded on video cassette starting in 1969. Programs were first viewed in Temple University’s Children’s Literature classes, but when other institutions requested them, distribution began.
The series originator and copyright holder was Dr. Jaqueline Schachter Weiss (1926-2021), Temple University Associate Professor-Emerita of children's literature. Interviews are conducted by Shachter Weiss and Mrs. Carolyn W. Field (1916-2010), Coordinator of the Office of Work with Children at the Free Library of Philadelphia and ex-president of the U.S. section of the International Board on Books for Young People.
Digital copies of these videos were a gift from Scott Shachter, in memory of Dr. Jaqueline Shachter Weiss, EdD.

amazing!!! i had just finished vacuuming the house & was now going to wash the floors & I thought I should put some Led Zeppelin on. Then I thought to myself, I wonder if anyone has ever recorded a reading of a Keith Robertson Swede & Neil Mystery? So I typed in "Keith Robertson book" into the RUclips search bar & up came this ABSOLUTE GEM!!!!!!! Oh how I love his books --- Year of The Jeep & Carson Street Det Agency series in particular. But then how could I forget In Search of a Sandhill Crane??? I am just getting into his adult offerings as Carlton Keith but the first one I am reading seems good if you like the old school private eye genre. But his junior fiction is right up there with scott corbett and august derleth for vintage americana (odd choice of words as i am from canada - but you know what i mean). THANKS FOR POSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
