Which James Thomson is referred to? James Thomson (Seasons) or James Thomson (B.V.)? WouterVH 22:44, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
Fascinating ideas, completely unfootnoted. Which of de la Mare's works did this theory of childhood imagination come from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.231.226.108 ( talk) 08:13, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
Would the "Reginald Scot" referred to here be Reginald Scott, 16th-century author of the banned-and-burned "A Discovery of Witchcraft", which explained how witches didn't exist and it was all really just prestidigitation? DS 13:04, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
"(though not necessarily justly so)" - isn't this striding rather clumsily into the realm of literary criticism? If he's remembered for writing for children, that's how he's remembered. "Hitler is remembered mainly for killing a lot of people (though not necessarily justly so)."
It seems to me that devoting such a large portion of this article to a single anthology—in a section that consists mainly of an absurdly long list of authors represented in the work—is unwise and detracts from the encyclopedic tone of the article. Surely such an attractive writer, about whom much more could be said, deserves better treatment. Is there anyone who agrees with me? I'm reluctant to delete this section and expand the article in other directions without some support from other editors. Deor 03:00, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
This article does not say much of the poet himself, and his personal life.-- Yamenah 18:10, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Passages in this biography match the retrospective online citation of Walter de la Mare and Collected Stories for Children for the 1947 Carnegie Medal.
The crucial section of the award citation has the heading "About the Author". That is commonly used in a published book as a heading in the front or back material or on the cover or dustjacket. Perhaps "About the Author" in some print edition of Collected Stories for Children is the unacknowledged source for both this biography and that award citation.
(One may guess that we have plagiarised the CILIP awards website. In this case I don't think so. After poking around for an hour I have several grounds for doubt but I'll mention only that we did not mention the 1947 Carnegie Medal until my editorial session 15 August 2012, while the offending biographical material is at least partly six years older.)
