Wikipedia:

His translation of Faust, however, was recognized for its scholarly skill and remained in print through 1969.
[EB 1911] he will be remembered by his poetic and excellent translation of Goethe's Faust (2 vols, Boston, 1870-71) in the original metres.
[Appleton's 1889] His fame rests securely upon his unequalled rendering of Faust in the original metres, of which the first and second parts appeared in 1870 and 1871. His commentary upon Part II for the first time interpreted the motive and allegory of that unique structure.

W places him at Mayfair Games.
Anne McCaffrey in preface to Crossroads Adventures #1 credits the project to Bill Fawcett of Mayfair Games, defunct 1997.

I suppose that paper-and-pencil role-playing-game guide is a publication outside the scope of ISFDB (please notify me if wrong).

LC gives birthdate 1962-01-01, thus about 24-26 yrs old during Crossroads Adventures project, which fits work for hire with Bill Fawcett and Associates

Daniel Greenberg seems to claim credit for the 1993 uncredited anthology in which two of the three shortfiction were published -- as the fourth of seven (print) "fiction" publications in small print at the foot of <a href="http://www.danielgreenberg.com/1.html">his (video) Game Resume</a>. That does not fit our Notes on the anthology <a href="http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?420675">Publ 420675</a>.

"Travers has performed what she calls a heart transplant on the reissue next month of the first, 1934, book, gracefully bowing before the prevailing wind of minority sensitivity. Originally ... Eskimo, Chinese mandarin, Indian chief, and a beaded and feathered black family. When at bedtime Michael, after a day of deliberate naughtiness, against strict orders tries out the compass for himself, they reappear, huge and threatening, to punish him. // Librarians in California decided that this was 'racialist' and put the book on the Restricted List. ...

... Travers turned the people into animals -- polar bear, macaw, panda and dolphin. ...

"Half Magic was pushed as one of Harcourt’s prominent spring titles when it was released in 1954.

In 1955, Harcourt, Brace and Company released Half Magic as part of their Weekly Reader Children’s Book Club series. Half Magic was published under Harcourt’s Odyssey Children’s Classics imprint beginning in 1990 and then jointly with the Harcourt Young Classics imprint where it remains to this day. In 2004, Harcourt released a 50th Anniversary edition in hardcover restoring the original cover art by N. M. Bodecker. This special edition included a new introduction written by Jack Gantos.

2015-03-22 (part 2) http://dreamsofspace.blogspot.com/2015/03/first-men-to-moon-1960-part-2.html

On First Men:

Adapted from a 1958-1960 serial story written for "This Week" magazine. See 1961 UK reprint and a "condensed version for children" as part of the anthology "Treasury for young readers" (1961).
I blogged about the first of these "This Week" issues here back in 2013:

2013-06-24 http://dreamsofspace.blogspot.com/2013/06/first-men-to-moon-this-week-magazine.html

This Week 1958-10-05 "which could be fact by 1968!" (blogger has only part 1)

... We're living off our batteries!"
includes p36-37 "Timetable" with diagram in WvB handwriting
Next week: Landing on the Moon!

evidently planned as a serial to run in consecutive issues, probably not 1958-59-60
