The Man Who Loved Children is a 1940 novel by Australian writer Christina Stead.
 It was not until a reissue edition in 1965, with an introduction by poet Randall Jarrell, that it found widespread critical acclaim and popularity.
 "Time" magazine included the novel in its "TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005".
 The novel has been championed by novelists Robert Stone, Jonathan Franzen and Angela Carter.
 Carter believed Stead's other novels "Cotters England"; "A Little Tea, A Little Chat"; and "For Love Alone" to be as good, if not better than "The Man Who Loved Children".
This James Patterson Bibliography contains the list of books written and published by James Patterson.
 The list below separates the books into two main categories: books written for adults and books written for children and teens.
 Within those two categories, the books are further divided into three subcategories: fiction series, standalone fiction, or standalone nonfiction.
I'm Dying Laughing: The Humourist is a novel by Christina Stead (1902 - 1983).
 It was published posthumously by Virago Press in 1986, edited and with a preface by Ron Geering.
Robert James Campbell Stead (4 September 1880 - 1959) was born at Middleville, Ontario.
 The family homesteaded at Cartwright, Manitoba in 1882.
 Robert J.C. Stead began a weekly newspaper in Cartwright in 1899, at the age of 18 years.
 His first book, "The Empire Builders and Other Poems" was published in 1908 and for the next 23 years, until 1931, he continued a steady flow of novels, short stories and books of verse, which enriched the portraiture of Canadian prairie life.
 As described by Terrence Craig, "In his early poetry, such as "The Empire Builders and Other Poems" (1908), Stead mixed with styles of Service and Kipling to produce a virulently nationalist concept of Canada and Canadians.
 This strain was continued when he turned to novels in 1914, and wartime tensions seemed to exacerbate his prejudices.
 His postwar novels are calmer, more tolerant and less romantic than his first work...".
 For a significant period, Stead worked in the immigration department of the Canadian Pacific Railway in Calgary, where he produced "reams of rose-hued prose extolling the clean, healthy vigour of life in the open spaces—spaces opened courtesy of the CPR and available at good prices.
 On his own time, Mr. Stead writes in the same vein...", and became one of Canada's best-known authors.
William James Blake (1894–1968) was a broker, novelist and Marxist political economist.
 His birth name was Wilhelm Blech.
 His first marriage ended in divorce, and he then married Australian novelist Christina Stead, with whom he had been living since the late 1920s.
 Blake's father was physician, surgeon, and medical educator Gustavus M. Blech, M.D.

That Deadman Dance is the third novel by Western Australian author Kim Scott.
 It was first published in 2010 by Picador (Australia) and by Bloomsbury in the UK, US and Canada in 2012.
 It won the 2011 Regional Commonwealth Writers' Prize, the 2011 Miles Franklin Literary Award, the 2011 ALS Gold Medal, the 2011 Kate Challis RAKA Award, the 2011 Victorian Prize for Literature, the 2011 Victorian Premier's Literary Award, Vance Palmer Prize for Fiction and the 2012 NSW Premier's Literary Award Christina Stead Prize and Book of the Year.
Letty Fox: Her Luck is Australian-born author Christina Stead’s sixth novel.
 It is a tribute to the drama of the urban environment and its role in socializing its occupants.
 Published in 1946, Stead wrote the lengthy "Letty Fox" after living in New York City for seven years.
 The cosmopolitan setting serves well as the theater in which Stead develops her characters through their adventures with numerous careers, love affairs, familial obligations, and sensitivities to reputation.
 To this end, "Letty Fox" has been described as “a modern picaresque novel and psychological novel at the same time.”
