Robert James Dixson (May 23, 1908 – February 1, 1963) was an American writer who simplified and adapted some classic works of literature, that were later published in their new version, and wrote a number of books about the English language, especially crafted for the foreign born. He lived in New York City and moved to Florida in the early 1950s. He died while living in Coral Gables in 1963. He authored English language books by himself but also collaborated with others. Many of these books have been used throughout the world by those who wanted to learn or improve their knowledge of grammar, usage and pronunciation, particularly American English. Although the original editions served the intended purpose of his books, several have been re-published in different countries, most with translated notations to facilitate comprehension. == Works == Published simplified and adapted writings (partial list) #Moby Dick〔Melville, Herman (1990).
