Selected works subsections[edit]

We now have five Selected works subsections.

4.1 Children's fiction

4.2 Fiction as Adair Aldon

4.3 Plays

4.4 Biographies

4.5 For adults

The two listed biographies are for children. I suspect that the works in sections 4.2 and 4.3 are for children too. Can anyone confirm or correct that?

If the "fiction as Adair Aldon" is for children (as the titles and our layout suggest to me) then I think it should be listed under a bold heading within sec 4.1 or entirely integrated with the 4.1 listings.

Which if any of the subsections are complete lists of pertinent works?

second of two new sections

The article should give some attention to Adair Aldon. Was AA supposedly a male author and more suitable for marketing to boys? or for the genre or tone of the books? Does the fiction by AA differ from that by CM? --P64 (talk) 18:01, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1. Aldon, Adair, 1884–1973 at Library of Congress Authorities
2. Meigs, Cornelia, 1884-1973
3. The two authors are identified with LC Classification PS3525.E2823; these two pages are points of entry to the LC Catalog records of their books.
4. Because lists their works separately they both have pages at WorldCat. For Adair Aldon:

... i am not certain how to interpret this

2. – I do find two "by Adair Aldon [pseud.]" in the LCCatalog titles list (search report) for Meigs --the two published by Century, 1920 and 1922.

3. – And AA at WorldCat is credited with only two works in library holdings --the two published by Macmillan, 1917 and 1918.

This does suggest that only four books as by AA were published, whence section 4.3 is complete.

--P64 (talk) 19:45, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1. – The island of Appledore 1917 -- another LCCrecord for Aldon -- one of the two titles that WorldCat lists for AA.

2. – Here are the two LCCrecords that I mentioned above: At the sign of the two heroes 1920; The hill of adventure 1922

5.   LCCat does not attribute the fourth title to Adair Aldon: The pirate of Jasper Peak 1918. I found this one by direct title search (Title begins with:) and suppose that I might have found it in the long Titles list for Meigs [2].
