Talk:Henry Reed (character)

Illustrators

The original illustrators of all five volumes should be identified.

The lead says Robert McCloskey illustrated vols 1-4 only. The US national LCCatalog notes that the first book, first ed. is illustrated but does not identify the artist.[1] For vols 2-4 it names McCloskey explicitly. For vol 5 it now provides a broken link or blank page.

Goodreads[2] says McCloskey for vol 5 Henry Reed's Think Tank (1986). Is the depicted cover illustration his work?(hosted by Amazon) Amazon also attributes the Think Tank illustrations to McCloskey (at least on some sales pages that it hoses).

Collecting Children's Books by "just someone with a hobby" shows and tells the truth, probably mainly, in "Pure and Applied Research about Henry Reed". Clearly that vol 5 cover illustration is not McCloskey's work. This source also explains why not; says the book was originally unillustrated; criticizes the new artist's mistakes.

The latter source may be unacceptable in a Good article but this article is not likely to develop much anytime soon. Momentarily I will make it one External link.

Formally I made it a reference. --P64 (talk) 20:43, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Sources

Initially (2005) there were three external links listed as "References" here. Sans Fig Leaf survives and I have refashioned its listing. Two have been deleted, namely:

• The Henry Reed Series

--currently {dead}

• Henry Reed, Inc., Summary & Study Guide

--currently available: "Henry_reed_inc Summary & Study Guide Description" and a free sample
