I am compiling this page for those of you who might want to research more about M. E. Kerr and Mary James for whatever reason, i.e., school, general interest. I have added a new Reviews Section which I hope you will find helpful. There are excerpts from many of the citations listed below. If you want the full article, you should be able to track it down through your local library. Some links lead to sites with reviews. Some links might lead to the publication web site. You'll see that some articles are available from these sites free of charge, but others might require a fee. So I recommend checking your school and public libraries first before ordering anything. I'll also list some sites that provide article retrieval services - usually for a fee. Also, check out the links page. Some of those sites might have reviews and critical examinations of works. Click here to look at Links. If you know of anything you think I should add to the list, please let me know by clicking here: WEBMASTER! Here are the references separated into two sections: Books (in alphabetical order) and Other:Menu
