Psammead (28) - with duplication

Seven Dragons (8) - ERROR

Bastables

Bastable, Oswald (4)

Wouldbegoods, The (19) - apparently all bastable?

---

1 of 3 from a heavy contributor to Wikipedia and ISFDB.

Among fiction by E. Nesbit (http://www.philsp.com/homeville/fmi/s/s5409.htm#A139018) the index now shows two series that are named "The Wouldbegoods" and "Oswald Bastable". Those must be combined.

I suggest series name "(The) Bastable(s)" or "Bastable Children". Your use of "Psammead" for the other famous series by Nesbit suggests simply "Bastable(s)".

The Wouldbegoods is merely the title of the second Bastables book, as is The Amulet for the Psammead series.

"(about)" series Oswald Bastable, the index now links Wikipedia: "Oswald Bastable" but that article is about a series by Michael Moorcock. At Wikipedia see "The Story of the Treasure Seekers" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_the_Treasure_Seekers), where "The Bastables" redirects, which is named for the first Bastables book.

ISFDB now has the Bastable Children series by Nesbit and the Oswald Bastable series by Moorcock.

SFE-F and SFE3 do not list any of these short works, nor several other story books for children that Wikipedia lists (of which only 1907 Shakespeare #17 among her top 20 at WorldCat)

EN's richest and most complex work, drawing again upon her own childhood, is The Enchanted Castle (1906-1907 The Strand; 1907), while her personal favourites were the two interlinked time fantasies (complete with Fabian socialist lessons) The House of Arden (1908) and Harding's Luck (1909). The Magic City (1910) developed out of EN's hobby of constructing miniature cities from household objects.

"The Fiery Dragon" and "The Last of the Dragons" are different stories recently collected together (o[91], o[92]), the former published September 1899 in The Strand as "The Seven Dragons. VII. The Fiery Dragon, or, The Heart of Stone and the Heart of Gold" --or so I represent the original illustrated header [93].

SFE-F

It was not until the publication of a series of stories about the Bastable children, based in part on her own childhood experiences, that EN found her niche. Collected in volume form as The Story of the Treasure Seekers, Being the Adventures of the Bastable Children in Search of a Fortune (coll 1899), these established her as a major writer for children. But, although two more Bastable serial novels followed, she now turned to fantasy ...

...

EN was self-admittedly influenced by the work of her contemporary F Anstey, while others before her – including William Makepeace Thackeray and Andrew Lang – had made humorous use of fairytale materials, but EN was the first to write fantasy in such a knowing, modern, non-pious way for children.

User talk:Chavey#To the Adventurous notes in progress

2018-02-28: I added 1893 collection Something Wrong T654730 which contains much of her horror or supernatural fiction per reports at SFE (see title Notes). At least 5 of the 8 stories are also listed contents of To the Adventurous

A sixth, reported by WorldCat as "The Judgement", may be "The Judgment: A Broadmoor Biography". These six are the 13th and 15th to 18th contents of To the Adventurous.

SFE says that Fear (1910) includes 5 (of 7) stories in Grim Tales (1893) and 6 others. From contemporary reviews and FictionMags, so far I have identified only 5 contents of Fear including two from the earlier collection.
