Talk:Elizabeth Olds

Children's picture books
Olds created six children's books per [ref name=texas].

WorldCat lists six books as her most widely held works in participating libraries, and no other books among her top 20 works (mainly visuals held by 1 library, namely LC).

I inserted a list of those six books only, and called them as children's picture books by inference from the linked LC Catalog records. They are illustrated and either unpaged or no more than 43 pages.

LC Catalog search via Elizabeth Olds at LC Authorities unfortunately does not present her works under a single heading--and discriminates multiple Elizabeth Olds inadequately.
 * Olds, Elizabeth, 1896-1991 (13)

Those 13 are her Photo Print or Drawing in the catalog, evidently.
 * Olds, Elizabeth 1897- (5)
 * Olds, Elizabeth, 1897- [from old catalog] (1)

Those 6 are her Book in the catalog, I infer, relying partly on WorldCat ...
 * Olds, Elizabeth. [from old catalog] (2)

Two copies of Another Tiny Tim (California, 1941). --a children's picture book, i suppose from the title and because it is unpaged --Amazon[ http://www.amazon.com/Another-Tiny-Elizabeth-Olds-Carringer/dp/B001GXIPXY ] attributes it to Elizabeth Olds Carringer, someone I don't find in LCCat.

I used section heading "Children's picture books" because we have no other books created by Olds. Another organization may be appropriate. For one, WorldCat lists "Elizabeth Olds, retrospective exhibition: paintings, drawings, prints by Elizabeth Olds" --by her in a sense. It lists a Texas M.A. thesis about her too.
