Editorial Reviews

"Drawing on old maps, contemporary drawings and paintings, portraits and other archive material, the excellent Famous Authors series not only presents a factual outline of the writers’ lives, but also conveys a clear visual picture of the social and historical background to their writing. Recommended for all ages." –THE GOOD BOOK GUIDE Heralded as one of the most gifted writers of his generation, Fitzgerald was known for his novels and stories of the 1920’s. He created cynical, but glittering characters to define the "Jazz Age" as one of irresponsibility. Named after the author of The Star Spangled Banner, Fitzgerald was born in St. Louis, Minnesota to an affluent family. He spent his time in the fashionable resorts of Europe and in Long Island and Washington D.C. His life was rich and glamorous, but ended tragically with his wife’s mental illness and his own subsequent breakdown. Fitzgerald was prolific, having published many novels and short stories, including The Great Gatsby. He was also the central character in other novels and biographies, including Arthur Mizener’s The Far Side Of Paradise.
