Wikipedia:WikiProject Children's literature/Author list, from 1001 Children's Books

A list of the authors from Julia Eccleshare's 1001 Children's Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up (Cassell, 2009).

We have articles on far more than these of course; but we probably ought to have articles on all of these, so this may be a useful tracking list. Also the illustrators, where these were different from the author.

cf our own List of children's literature authors; List of young adult authors; List of children's non-fiction writers and List of children's book illustrators (defunct)
