2 3 4 6 --1999 Revised hc Henry Holt (Ness cover art)
1 3 5 --2006 Wyatt cover art
1 --2014 and later 50th anniversary edition (two vols extant)

The novels carry five distinct maps (c) Evaline Ness 1964 to 1968. Book 6 carries map 5.

In the database all 5 maps under 6 titles are attributed to Evaline Ness with 1964 to 1968 dates (as contents of those 8 of 14 "recent" editions examined).

1 2 3 4 5 6

5 maps are attributed to uncredited with 1964 to 1968 dates (as contents of the 1991 Prydain omnibus).

1 2 3 4 5

By retaining distinct records until the maps are examined and judged to be identical (same artwork), we guard against such problems as [a] existence of two maps with 1964 copyright used in later editions of The Book of Three and [b] error by the omnibus compiler in claiming 1964 copyright for the map that illustrates The Book of Three in that volume.


About the Author

Evidently there are seven variants of one closing ESSAY "About the Author". The basic appears in 1999 book 6 and in the Square Fish edition (some?) of the 2006 Wyatt cover art set. Books 1-5 in the 1999 set prepend one or two pertinent paragraphs to the basic. Book 1 in the 50th anniversary inserts Alexander's lifespan in the lead, "Lloyd Alexander (1924-2007)". In the 2006 David Wyatt cover art Henry Holt paperback ed. (rather than Square Fish ed.), the novel-specific 1999 About the Author appears.


Close examination of the Wyatt set 1 3 5 shows that only The Book of Three "First Square Fish Edition June 2011" omits the first paragraph of About the Author and thus matches 1999 book 6 rather than 1999 book 1. The Henry Holt ppb ed. book 3 printed September 2010 and the "First Square Fish Edition August 2011" book 5 both include such a prefix and are identical to About the Author in those volumes of the 1999 set.

Author's Note T1942487 --currently one of two ESSAY records both 1965

From the lead of this two-page Author's Note: "intended, hopefully, to do somewhat more than continue the Chronicles of Prydain. "What happens next is always an urgent question, and this volume attempt to answer it, at least partially. Nevertheless, The Black Cauldron should stand as a chronicle in its own right."

Lloyd Alexander ESSAY records for Prydain Author's Notes need attention

2016

later if/when ambitious, compare About the Author essays

Taran Wanderer check for and consider About the Author p[257]?
High King check for and consider About the Author p[287-88]

check reviews User:Pwendt#Prydain reviews, etc

2016-04-16 later ask about implementation of The High King

minimal notes on first printing P41500
clone and expand as printing in hand P564170

alternative would be to clone more of the notes and insert a statement atop the list of notes (i would put it outside the bullet list in line 1) that some Notes are based on examination of the 10th printing
