Gutenberg

With all due respect, let's not be Gutenberg fanbois. If you had another reason for removing my link, then please say so. The Gutenberg site links to that one as well, as it is clearly a superior source of books by Nesbit. In addition, many are illustrated, and it also contains stuff that is not in Proj. Gut. I have reverted to my edits for now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.142.170.15 (talk • contribs) 00:02, 11 April 2005 (UTC)

Golden Dawn

The wiki on The Story of the Amulet claims that Nesbit was a member of the mystical-magical Order of the Golden Dawn. If supported by solid evidence, this is an interesting fact about Nesbit that deserves to be in her biographical article -- for one thing, it involves her in a social circle containing several other authors of note, such as William Butler Yeats. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.100.18.183 (talk • contribs) 13:27, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

That claim certainly shows up in a number of places, e.g. [1], [2], [3]. Coulombe's article offers a bibliography, though it's not obvious which of those books mentions Nesbit; it's also the only one I could find on a quick search that discusses her beyond including her name in a list of members. The one at hermeticfellowship.org gives a table of contents from a book that looks to mention her as a member. Some of those sources are a bit flakier than I'd like, but that probably goes with the territory. --Calair 23:49, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Bernard Shaw

According to Michael Holroyd's biography of Shaw, he was not one of her lovers; they flirted a lot and Nesbit was very interested in consumating the relationship but that interest scared Shaw off. Accordingly, I have removed the statement that he was one of her lovers — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.87.39.135 (talk • contribs) 11:32, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

LibriVox links

I noticed that the LibriVox links for E Nesbit are out of date - there are now about a dozen of her works available as free audio recordings. I'm very new to Wikipedia and didn't know how best to update the main page; I was afraid that adding a new link for each item would be considered link spam. Perhaps someone could advise on how LibriVox and Gutenberg links are generally treated - or, at least, point me in the right direction to find the information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by NerdTaxi (talk • contribs) 02:10, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
