Item description
A MEASURE OF INDEPENDENCE
By John R. Tunis
New York: Atheneum, 1964.
First edition (stated).
Black cloth with spine titles gilt.
A near fine copy; in a near fine dust jacket that is price-clipped.
In The Continuum Encyclopedia of Children's Literature Nancy Horton called Tunis "the forefather of the genre of young adult sports fiction". His novels changed the way sports fiction was written, adding depth by addressing social themes and adolescent issues. His stories gave the games context and addressed the
pressures and problems of growing up in the spotlight, moving sports
from the realm of pulp magazines to serious fiction.
The scarce autobiography by "the finest boys' book writer of his day."--McCue.
