Talk:Green Knowe

Name?
I thought it was called "The Green Knowe Chronicles", not just Green Knowe. It's on the cover of the book. 189.158.145.189 (talk) 03:25, 9 October 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, I have created a redirect here from The Green Knowe Chronicles.
 * Some series are known by more than one name, all unofficial. The author and even the publisher may play no part in naming it.
 * On the other hand, multiple names may be official in that they all come from the publisher/printer/marketing office. Over the years different quasi-titles are introduced in successive cover designs --most often in my experience as banners near the top or bottom, or longer lines of explanation across the bottom. "The Worlds of Chrestomanci" was identically integrated in the cover art(book one) of a five-volume matching set that came out May 2000 when the fifth was new. The "Red King Quintet" or "The Red King Quintet" became the uncounted "Children of the Red King" or "The Children of the Red King" with its sixth book. Often the publisher is inconsistent about that leading article (The). And so on.
 * ISFDB is one database whose series names are commonly used here.--P64 (talk) 19:22, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Demon at Green Knowe
I have inserted in the lead this line based on ISFDB.
 * Lucy M. Boston also completed one Green Knowe short story in 1964: "Demon at Green Knowe", in Helen Hoke, ed., Spooks, Spooks, Spooks (Franklin Watts, 1966, 0-531-01797-4).

See.

Thus I may err on the side of inclusion. Unusually, ISFDB does catalog the "Green Knowe" series but does not include this story, although its title and "shortfiction" classification suggest that it is part of the series. I know nothing else about the story and little about the series except what I have read in this article. --P64 (talk) 19:22, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * ISFDB is the source for both dates: 1964 for the story and 1966 for its publication in Spooks, Spooks, Spooks.
 * Beside writing the preceding line, today I have rephrased the July note. --P64 (talk) 01:01, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
 * This source seems to suggest that it was not a stand-alone Green Knowe short story but an extract (or an adaptation of one of the chapters?) from "An Enemy at Green Knowe" (published in 1964) in Hoke's anthology: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=RPrvLFYwm30C&pg=PA128&lpg=PA128&dq=%22Demon+at+Green+Knowe%22&source=bl&ots=gtBwRL_Ehl&sig=7SKvdu9qWF1xbpzPEra-9T5H-kg&hl=en&sa=X&ei=4eCuU6iCO8LY7Absm4DABg&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=%22Demon%20at%20Green%20Knowe%22&f=false - I'd be inclined to delete the line, or at least move to a subsidiary note under "An Enemy".
