Tasks you can do:

Here are some open tasks for WikiProject Children's literature, an attempt to create and standardize articles related to children's literature. Feel free to help with any of the following tasks.

Things you can do

Adults, marketed for

Are the annotations "(marketed) for Adults" complete in that all novels and short story collections except these three were marketed for young people? What about the three DWJ-edited anthologies (her only edited books, and marketed for young people)? What about the two nonfictions? --P64 (talk) 17:56, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Complete bibliography

The lead should state whether this bibliography is selected or (intended to be) complete. The template {{incomplete section}} can be used if and where it is "wanting".

Is anyone working by reference to a complete bibliography? --P64 (talk) 22:05, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ISFDB

Here are the headings and subheadings for ISFDB's list of works.

  • Fiction Series --book series
    • Chrestomanci (6+1)
    • Dalemark (4)
    • Derkholm (2) --not including the nonfiction Tough Guide
    • Howl's Castle (3)
    • Magids (2)
  • Novels (20) --in this context meaning Other novels
  • Collections (6) --as sole author
  • Anthologies (3) --as editor
  • Chapterbooks (5) --definition?
  • Nonfiction (2)
  • Shortfiction (25) --some are contents of books listed previously
  • Poems (1)
  • Essay Series (1) --Jones contribution to a series by multiple authors?
  • Essays (10)
  • Reviews (1)

By plan, that is without duplication of story & book or book & omnibus. --P64 (talk) 22:05, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Picture books

Has anyone seen Yes, Dear and Puss in Boots? Are they fully illustrated books probably intended for reading aloud to pre-school children? (If so, is she the illustrator or translator of Puss in Boots?) Is there such a version of Angus Flint?

I have seen "Angus Flint" only in the collection Stopping for a Spell. That is illustrated but not fully illustrated, only occasional black-and-white drawings. --P64 (talk) 21:53, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Young adults

Which of her fiction books must be called "young adult" (or adult or adults', etc) rather than "children's" for reasonable accuracy? --not here but in the prose and in the {infobox} and categories of book articles.

Short fiction

Here are two listings that I deleted --after correcting the first and expanding both-- because it appears this bibliography lists only that short fiction neither published as a separate volume nor included in one of the all-Jones collections. These two are in the Jones collection Unexpected Magic (2004).

  • "Fat Wizard", in Guardian Angels (Viking Kestrel, 1987)
  • "Little Dot", in Firebirds (Penguin, 2003)

I doubt this bibliography should continue the approach I have described here, and followed in my revision last hour. In User space there is a table constructed last-last hour w ref ISFDB, which shows which short fiction appears in which of the six collections (abbreviated SWEABU).
