Some of the junior novels being produced today are trivial, but others are works of real stature written by outstanding authors. To a prospective librarian interested in work with young people, a detailed study of one of these successful authors seems beneficial and of great interest. Rosamond du Jardin is acknowledged to be one of the most skillful and successful authors of this genre today. Certainly she is one of the most popular with teen-agers themselves. Not much has appeared in print about this talented author. Only two biographical sketches have been found and they were not extensive or complete. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to bring together all available information about the life of Rosamond du Jardin and about her works. / "August, 1960." / At head of title: Florida State University. / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate School of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Agnes Gregory, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 42-46).
