Removed some things.[edit]

I took the liberty to remove this,

"Another great book illustrated by Chris Riddell is Corby Flood in which an 8 year girl goes on a cruise ship and saves the mysterious thing in the wooden crate. A sequel should really be made because the villains escape at the end. for ages 8+ (8-12 is best) 232 pages In total."

NPOV, sounds like it was written for a children's book review, etc. Eirein 07:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ottoline in Malaysia[edit]

first of three new sections posted at once

(Quote) "Most recently Riddell has both written and illustrated the "Ottoline" series, written while he was on holiday visiting his brother in Malaysia."

Perhaps this refers to the first book, at a time when sequels were only hopes (which is sometimes true of socalled "series"). The first book was published in 2007, the next two in 2009 and 2010. ... Or does he spend every August in Malaysia?

Anyway, the article will benefit from any explanation whether Malaysia influences the text or illustration. --P64 (talk) 01:36, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

2001/2002 and 2004/2005 CILIP press releases.
Today I have expanded the article with reference to the press releases announcing his two Greenaway Medals. In each case there is a longer "Background" release on Riddell and the Medal-winning work, which I have not consulted. --P64 (talk) 15:39, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Co-author or illustrator?[edit]

last of three new sections posted at once

During re-format of the Riddell bibliography section, I have replaced "Collaboration with" A, B, and C by "Illustration" and "written by A", "written by B", etc. Most or all of our few articles on these collaborative works identify Riddell as illustrator and the collaborator as author. If and where it is appropriate to call Riddell a general collaborator, which implies co-author and perhaps co-illustrator too, some careful attention and good source is needed.

See Talk:Paul Stewart (writer)#Co-authors Stewart & Riddell?. For Stewart & Riddell in particular, knowledgeable editors should handle both biographies and some books articles at once, and consistently. --P64 (talk) 01:36, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
