Complete reconstruction to Harvard format of all "book" references

The references in this article were in rather a muddled state - giving rise to various misunderstandings. They (at least the "book" ones) have all been regularised to Harvard format as far as I could manage - and there is now a proper bibliography. Any important "babies" thrown out with the "bath water" - please come here to discuss in the first instance, as any changes may involve loss of co-ordination with references. A very brief summary of the article has been added as a rudimentary "2nd paragraph" to the lead - this may need expansion. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 14:21, 31 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello again Soundofmusicals, thank you for taking the time for the formatting. However, you seem to have removed the Arbuthnot; Sutherland (1976) source in the process. I've reverted for now, since maybe it went over your head. Please format it and include it in your next edit along with the other sources. Thanks again.

This reference was removed for the very good reason that it does not contain any relevant information. It is a very nice anthology of children's literature, and includes (starting on page 302) a retelling of Aladdin - with a short introductory note about Galland and his translation - however this note does not mention anything specific about Aladdin itself, nor any of the matter in the paragraph you applied it to. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 21:14, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
