lethe | 16368 comments I came across illustrator Francesca Rossi through the Grimm project and saw that the profile was in need of disambiguation and other work.

I started off by moving the computer science books to a 2-space profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
and the romance/historical fiction to a 3-space profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Judging from her website, I don't think the books on the 3-space profile are a side project of the illustrator.

1. I am not sure, however, if all the books on the 3-space profile belong to the same author, so I'd like someone else to take a look.

Before disambiguating, I noticed there was a follower, but I checked their shelves and they didn't have any books by (primary author) Francesca Rossi listed.

Only after disambiguating did I notice a video belonging to a book that is now on the 3-space profile (I tend to not "see" videos since most are advertising).

I don't know if videos are added to a book or to an author profile. If it is to a book, I assume the video will transfer automatically in the next couple of days.

2. If videos are added to an author page, could a super please move it to https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Thanks!

3. Illustrator Francesca Rossi is listed as the only author for most of the books on her profile. While it is true that she has written and illustrated a few picture books of her own, I think most of the books should have the actual authors as primary. She is credited for illustrations, not for adaptations*.

4. Her "series" Fairy Tale Adventures (https://www.goodreads.com/series/1952...) should be turned into a Listopia.

*N.B. The series description does say "series of fairy tale adaptations illustrated by Francesca Rossi", so that should be looked into first.

lethe | 16368 comments 5. Finally, editions should be combined.

F.e.:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... (currently under Francesca Rossi)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... (currently under Jacob Grimm)

The Spanish cover says "Rapunzel: de un cuento de los Hermanos Grimm: ilustraciones de Francesca Rossi".

I think "de un cuento" could mean "(adapted) from a tale", but I'll leave that to people more fluent in Spanish than I am.
