A minor correction to Possum's post that mentioned Moomies somewhere above...
The author is Tove Jansson and "he" is a she... 
And worth adding!!

Now I don't like this system... 
When I answer to some earlier post it appears up there where no one can find it but if I answer to the latest post no one has no idea what I'm talking about...
I just made a correction about the author of Moomies up there...

oh my, has everyone forgotten Edgar Allen Poe?
and some of my favorite oldies but goodies; Herodotus, Aeschylus, and Pindar.
Thanks!
Researcher 103882 Posted May 4, 2000
Thankyou to everyone who has suggested an author. I am afraid that in updating the list a few may have got forgotten, or put into the wrong category. Please report any mis-placed authors and spelling errors that you find.
Please try and find articals to go with the authors before you suggest them, because there are rather a lot, and althought I shall try and get through them all, it would be easier if you could help.
Finally, I should just like to ask that more of you get to work writing articals on the authors. They need not be exhaustive, but may include:
A brief introduction (genre, etc)
A little biography
A list of works, with dates, and comments if you like
Links to any fan sites that you can find
Try and link to as many relevent articals as possible, such as discussions of genre type, or other related authors. Also, please link to this artical.
Thanks!
