WorldCat data[edit]

I added all illustrators who are named at Penelope Lively at British Council: Literature and a few named in WorldCat library records, where I looked up a few titles that seem likely for picture books.

WorldCat: Lively lists her 20 books most widely held in libraries (that is, in digital catalogue records of participating libraries). Fifteen are "Fiction for adults", we say. The five "Fiction for children" rank only #6, 15-17-18-19. Among the latter #19 Dragon Trouble (1984; 1999) is a short chapter book. The other four are long, three novels and a collection, all illustrated in some editions at least.

Ghost of Thomas Kempe (Heinemann, 1973), illus. Antony Maitland, 153pp
Stitch in Time (Heinemann, 1976), 1986 Puffin illus. Anthony Kerins, 139pp
Revenge of Samuel Stokes (Heinemann, 1981), 1983 Puffin illus. Martin J. Cottam, 135pp
Uninvited Ghosts (Heinemann, 1984), collection, illus. John Lawrence (illustrator) (i presume), 119pp

Those data are not in the article section Books. --P64 (talk) 20:15, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
