Professor James Toodle Robinson was a famous psychologist who lived from 1847 to 1906. He is famous for his theories on how the mind works. Professor Robinson had a difficult childhood. He was born to rich parents who didn't have enough money to keep him at school, so he had to go out to work at the old age of ten. He found a job helping in the local market. While he was working there he met a doctor who took an interest in him and soon started to help him with his education. At eighteen he managed to go to university and after that got a job in a famous hospital. While he was still working in the film studio he met and married his wife, Janet.
