Are these three listed books written primarily for adults? Even scholarly works exclusively for adults?
Are the others all accessible to pre-teens? -P64
The prose names three historical fictions for children, probably. (and suggests Namesake and Marsh King both feature Alfred, which seems unlikely)
In today's revision I have described Shakespeare's Theatre (1964) as one of two "certainly non-fiction" books to win the Greenaway Medal. CILIP celebrated
Pirate Diary (2001) as the first "information book" to win since Horses in Battle (1975) --evidently that one, altho the 2002 press release says first in 27 years.

It is certain 2001 and seems clear 1975 that those two works are historical fiction or fictionalised history. (Re the latter, a customer review of Horses at Amazon says,
Is it possible to tell such "true stories" without fictionalisation?
I observe that some winning works cannot be called fiction or non-fiction (or reference). One example is the alphabet book ABC by Brian Wildsmith (1962). Another may be Mother Goose Treasury by Raymond Briggs (1966). Some works for very young children may include text without narrative structure (or dictionary/encyclopedia/almanac listings, of course).

I read them both as a kid, and I assure you that "The Namesake" and "The Marsh King" do both feature King Alfred, the first roughly covers events up to Guthrum's surrender at Exeter, the second after this. PatGallacher ( talk) 23:59, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
Hodges illustrated the front covers of a 1948-47 edition of E. Nesbit's Treasure Seekers and its sequel. See C. Walter Hodges at the Internet Speculative Fiction Database.
I haven't mentioned those in the article because they are only book covers and I have not mentioned ISFDB, even by External link, because its report is so meagre for Hodges. But I doubt that that database coverage of children's classics is complete even for "fantasy". So I don't think I know whether he did much work on classics and it would be good to know that here.

Here is a listing at WorldCat: Hodges, C. Walter that may be worth pursuing somehow.
It's the second-listed of WorldCat's "Most widely held works about C. Walter Hodges". I infer, but with little confidence, that the physical model is in the Harvard Theatre Collection while the slides and pamphlet have been distributed. -- P64 ( talk) 18:30, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
