About the author

Robert Phelps (also known as Robert G. Phelps) was a journalist, novelist and letter-writer who flourished in the mid-twentieth century in new York City, his adopted home. A devoted francophile, Phelps venerated the writings of Cocteau, Colette and Marcel Jouhandeau and did much to promote the works of these authors in the US. Phelps co-founded Grove Press in 1949, but sold it a year later and devoted himself to writing. He is best known for "The Literary Life: A Scrapbook Almanac of the Anglo-American Literary Scene from 1900 to 1950"; "Professional Secrets: An Autobiography of Jean Cocteau"; and "Earthly Paradise: Colette's Autobiography Drawn From her Lifetime Writings".
NOTE: He is NOT the author of "Ramblings from the Barn", or the Mel Bay's Guitar workbooks.
