Talk:The Midnight Folk

Title: "The Treasure of Santa Barbara" or "The Midnight Folk"?
I listened to every episode of the 1958 radio broadcast but I am quite certain it was always titled and announced as "The Midnight Folk".

Spoiler in first para
Hi, the first paragraph of this article states that Kay's governess is the same person as the witch Sylvia Pouncer. This is a spoiler as Kay and the reader do not discover this throughout almost all of the book. It is certainly a plot point that the author intended to conceal, since Kay speculates several times as to whether the governess could be associated with the witches, upon encountering clues to this, but rejects the possibility each time.

I'm not sure what the Wikipedia policy on spoilers is, but in this particular case it seems that this fact could either be omitted, or only revealed later in the article. For example, someone reading a plot synopsis is probably much more open to a potential spoiler than someone reading the opening of the article. It also doesn't seem to add much to tell readers at this point that Sylvia Pouncer is the governess. 2A02:C7C:3794:5200:9858:6DD6:6C03:1178 (talk) 14:43, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
