VIAF: search 'robbins, ruth'. All five Work and Expression clusters (all singletons) are hers. There is no Personal cluster including a US record for her. The two Personal clusters for her are now listings #7 (Poland, France, birthyear 1910) and #9 (Netherlands, birthyear 1917).
France yields a minimal template {{Authority control}} for her (birthyear in doubt):
'herman schein parnassus press' (3 hits) --for Herman Schein, founder of Parnassus Press and husband of Robbins. Parnassus Press records, 3 parts.
LC Catalog search (14 hits). She is not identified by US
LCCN (first item above). At a glance, 13 records are hers, 12 distinct books 1960–1986 and one reissue.
One is Ruth H. Robbins (also unidentified by LC), for whom Germany yields a minimal {Authority control}:
By LC Authorities search I find that she does have LCCN. But this record is not in VIAF (far above) and it does not accurately identify her alone (immed. above). This yields
The WorldCat records may be useful but do confound at least one by another Ruth Robbins ("Villette, Charlotte Brontë" York notes) --I presume.
ISFDB: Ruth Robbins provides no biog data and presumably confounds her with the same
Charlotte Brontë scholar (Victorian Gothic: Literary and Cultural Manifestations in the Nineteenth Century, 2000). ?and
Sheridan Le Fanu scholar? (The House by the Churchyard, 1994 foreword to
1863 novel).
Google: Images for ruth robbins illustrator. At least near the top, images of books and interior illustrations are hers--inclg illustrations of her writings by Sidjakov and others. The first photo portrait is
Trina Robbins (whose illustrations may be further down), the second is not identified, the next four are other people.
Ruth Robbins Collection at CLRC, University of Minnesota. – with Biographical Sketch from Gale, Something About the Author 14 (1978). -- voila!, but short
Parnassus Press, Berkeley CA, established 1956/57 by Schein
ref name=parnassus and Robbins
[1], husband and wife (at least by ten years later, per the former), papers span 1930-1989 (bulk 1955-1978)
[2]
Parnassus Press records, 1930-1989 (bulk 1955-1978) at U Cal-Berkeley Library, acquired 1971–1991 – with Biography: "Founded in 1957 ... the complete catalog of the Parnassus Press was sold to Houghton Mifflin in 1979."
Several reviews I have seen say this is not a Russian folktale, or at least not a common enough one to be known to the average Russian. Is the story original to Ruth Robbins or is there an earlier version? It has some similarity to the legend of the
Wandering Jew.
