Talk:K. M. Peyton

message: I have a copy of the book 'Fly by Night' and the author on the cover is K M Peyton. This article gives no evidence as to whether Christine Pullein-Thompson was actually the author. Comments? Ashfan83 19:41, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Does she consider her nationality English or British? Here she has been called British in the lead sentence; placed in British and English categories.
Flambards calls her English in the lead sentence. The first two novels are in British categories.
For consistency I have deleted the English category here (it should be one or the other) and I will make her British or nothing in the Flambards lead this hour. British nationality fits the publisher Oxford, by definition, and thus matches , so it's a good place to start, and it reflects the majority usage of past editors. If she considers herself English, say so here and change all text and categories. Reference: WP:UKNATIONALS.

message: I have deleted :Category:Pony books, planning to put the book articles rather than the biography there. Now I see that it contains more biographies, fewer book articles, perhaps because most of the pony books are covered only in the biographies. Anyway I'll restore K.M. Peyton and add Flambards this hour. 
The category preface should be revised to explain its purpose in this respect, evidently to cover both authors and their works. --P64 (talk) 15:38, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

The Guardian published a list of past winners in 2000 [ref name=relaunch/] which is our only reference at Guardian Children's Fiction Prize. One of the listings is
* "1970: KM Peyton for Flambards (Oxford University Press)"
The novel Flambards was published in 1967, the second and third books in 1969. The award officially recognises work published during the preceding calendar year and any exception incredible to me. I suppose she won the 1970 Prize for the second or third book, or for the entire trilogy (a novelty but not incredible to me). --P64 (talk) 15:38, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Her own website says she won the Prize for the series. So I'll say that at Flambards. --P64 (talk) 16:01, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

message: 1. If I understand correctly, the U.S. Library of Congress references (and holds?) a 1952 edition of The Mandrake (1949) by Kathleen Herald that is published as by Kathleen Wendy Herald.
(not yet combined with other U.S. records)
2. Regarding {KM, K M, K.M., K. M.} does anyone know how much consistency is appropriate on this page? Perhaps we should use "K. M.", as in the pagename, everywhere except in titles that use another form. That would include External links where we do not display target titles.
Today while visiting for another purpose I replaced some but not all other forms by "K. M." but I did not follow any policy strictly (even missed one in prose). --P64 (talk) 20:54, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
