BookLovingLady (deceased Jan. 25, 2023...) | 60 comments I came across a Listopia https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1... where The Adventures of Huck Finn (#9) by Garrison Keillor was mention as a book I've read. Now, I've never read anything by this author, so I checked my books to make sure (and I was right, as nothing turned up).

My copy of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn still has Mark Twain as the author. But when I looked at the books by Garrison Keillor, a really huge number of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain shows up under Garrison Keillor's name....

I'd be grateful if someone can right this wrong, please...? Thanks.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments There are some editions that are adaptations by Keillor, which correctly have him as first author. I suspect one/some of those got combined with Twain's work, so all of them are linked to both authors. With almost 1800 editions, I'm trying to find an easier way of finding the troublesome one/s than looking through the whole list.

Edit: Found one edition & am waiting for the separation processing to work its way through in hopes that it was the only one ... and I think we got lucky!

Lobstergirl I just separated one of the Keillor adaptations. I looked through the other editions for his name and didn't see it as primary author so I believe the one I separated was the only one. If so, the situation should be rectified shortly.

Abcdarian | 26579 comments Don't know if you found the same one I did or another one Lobstergirl, but it looks like it worked. :-)
