Series

note to self: User:P64/FSF/Children's/Jones/Ursula Jones -P64

According to our illustrator biography and the catalog sources linked below, these three books were written by Ursula Jones, illustrated by Russell Ayto, published by Orchard Books:

• The Witch's Children (month? 2001) — made the Greenaway Medal longlist shortlist
• The Witch's Children and the Queen (March 2003) — won the Smarties Prize, ages 0–5 (not recognised for the Greenaway as this article now says)
• The Witch's Children Go to School (2009November 2008) — won the inaugural, 2008 Roald Dahl Funny Prize, ages 0–6

These are the three works by Ursula Jones most widely held in WorldCat libraries. (Almost certainly, several of the rest were created by other people with the same name. (That is, WorldCat and LC conflate multiple identities.)
