Massive misattribution of works to Wilbert Awdry

[Thomas]

W. Awdry has a massive problem with books being misattributed to him - I presume this is because most licensed Thomas the Tank Engine books have "based on the Railway Series by the Rev. W. Awdry" on their copyright page. The problem is so bad that works actually written by Wilbert Awdry are a small minority of the works Goodreads lists as by him. Unfortunately the scale of the problem means I can't really give a list of misattributed books...

Hi Thomas

I'm not sure if the original author names need to stay on these. I'm inclining to 'no' as the newer Hercule Poirot & Mapp & Lucia books don't have the original author credited.

But even without this, these books need a big clean up.

Can I get you to edit the folder & put this in the Looking for a Project folder? This will only be possible in the Desktop view.

& you may find it helpful to read this post by our Moderator that gives a list of the folders & what posts should go in them.

I have changed the folder - I read the post but was uncertain about what folder this thread should go in.
