Good job Roger. It was Rankin.
Generally speaking Tarbell was a very disciplined writer. Given that her pen was her only real means of support she had to be. However, there was one book which took her almost 13 years to write.

Rob

This is a tough one! Could it be her autobiography: "All in a Day's Work"?
Sorry Joe but that's not it either.
