Barbara Webb Robinson was born October 24, 1927, in Portsmouth, OH. Educated at Allegheny College in Pennsylvania until 1948, Robinson has spent the vast majority of her career days as a freelance writer. 1962 announced her publishing debut with a Lothrop release entitled Across From Indian Shore. Known for her zany characters engaging in outrageous actions, Robinson repeatedly takes things in uproarious measures to the apt children's audience she fittingly targets. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever published in 1972 has received countless accolades and was adapted to stage and screen in the early 80s. Her follow-up, The Best School Year Ever, filled reviews with promise and praise in confidence, a sign that longevity is in order. Peer.
