First edition and New Zealand edit

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

First edition

It seems to me that (London: J.M. Dent, 1985) was the first edition. So I provided infobox bibliographic data consistently for that edition, as provided by the linked WorldCat library record. This includes [country=United Kingdom].

If I am right about the first edition then New Zealand is inappropriate in the infobox. I have rewritten the lead sentence to say "the New Zealand writer" Margaret Mahy.

The image caption is "Cover from UK version". At the File page (click the image), belatedly I see that the edition is Collins 2002 ppb, the one whose bibiographic data (except country) previously filled other {{infobox book}} fields. The Novels banner above notes the first edition need.

more New Zealand

Category: New Zealand novels is defined by the author's nationality, I understand. So I preserved that and added Category: Romance novels rather than cat British romance novels. (Someone who knows the field should replace this cat with one of the Romance novels by subgenre, if appropriate.)

Is the novel set in New Zealand? in another identifiable country? That should be explained in the text.
