Talk:Kurt Maschler Award

Administered
What does it mean to be "administered" by Book Trust and "run" by Tom Maschler --in the words of the cited source; administered and "overseen" in our words? --P64 (talk) 01:00, 26 June 2012 (UTC)


 * For some period of time Tom Maschler was the head of publisher Jonathan Cape, according to our biography. While expanding this article today I have learned that Cape published three or four of the KMAward-winning books. --P64 (talk) 18:42, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Coverage
Last year I added some coverage with [ref name=bizland] to several of the biographies of Maschler Award winners. This weekend I expanded some and did several others.

These are notes to be replaced by some summary after I re/visited all the biographies. "mere" means that the Maschler Award is named without any explanation (minimally, "integrated writing and illustration").

Illustrator and writer (7 awards, 6 biogs)
 * Browne - prose full + 3 book listings as "the Emil"
 * Burningham - prose full
 * Blake - prose full
 * McNaughton - prose full
 * Briggs - prose full
 * Cole - prose full

Illustrator only (11 more awards, 10 more people, 6 biogs, 4 redlinks)
 * Foreman - adequate book listing
 * Davidson - prose full
 * J. Ahlberg - prose adequate
 * Keeping - adequate award listing
 * Browne —see above—-
 * Oxenbury - prose full + 2 book listings

Writer only (11 more awards, 10 more people, 7 biogs, 3 redlinks)
 * Carter, ed/translator - ENTIRELY MISSING
 * Hughes (1968) - ENTIRELY MISSING (appropriate in the biog?)
 * A. Ahlberg - adequate note that does not underscore Allan & Janet collaboration
 * Causley - adequate book listing
 * Carroll (1865) - ENTIRELY MISSING (appropriate in the biog)
 * Waddell - adequate book listing
 * Mayne - adequate award listing

I am not sure which writers are equal partners in a relevant sense. I did not provide the same "full" coverage in any of their biographies.

Books (18 awards, 5 articles)
 * Granpa (film adaptation) - prose full (new section on the book)
 * Iron Man - prose full
 * Jolly Postman - prose full
 * The Man - prose full
 * Alice (2 awards) - adequate in section Publication timeline, 1988 and 1999
