Old Kingdom trilogy[edit]

I'm wondering whether the rather stubby articles on the books in the Abhorsen Trilogy should be expanded or subsumed into this article. Any ideas, anyone? --Phil | Talk 15:54, Aug 4, 2004 (UTC)

I'd say leave them as seperate articles. Otherwise they're bound to keep popping up whenever a great fan of the books joins wikipedia, which I do believe will continue happening. Sometimes these things have a life of their own. You can expand them if you wish to, I'm not even sure that's necessary.
BTW, did you read my note to you on your talk page? --Woggly 05:24, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Across the Wall collection[edit]

I'm wondering why there is a seperate article for "The Creature in the Case" when it is a novella WITHIN "Across the Wall". I suggest moving it into the "Across the Wall" page. Nihiltres 01:13, September 13, 2005 (UTC)

Because "The Creature in the Case" was published as a stand-alone short book BEFORE it was anthologized in "Across the Wall". I imagine there a many who have heard of "The Creature in the Case" but not of "Across the Wall" (myself included, up to just now). What would be very nice, is if someone who actually has a copy of "Across the Wall" could list the titles of the other stories in this collection. --Woggly 18:29, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Does "Across the Wall" have anything to do with the whole necromancer series? - Abhorsen123 02:53, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Across the Wall" is a collection of short stories, one of which is set in Ancelstierre, the others are unrelated to the Old Kingdom Trilogy. 12.17.189.77 21:06, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would anyone think that merging the "Across the Wall" and "Creature in the Case" into would link would be acceptable? Morrowulf 21:33, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's probably not a good idea. Although there is only one article describing the "Across the Wall" book and the "Creature in the Case" novella, they are only together as one article because individual articles would be too stubby. Since the "Creature in the Case" was widely distributed only as part of the "Across the Wall" book, the articles are identical. The "Creature in the Case" however, was printed separately specially initially, and so should probably have its own link. If we merge the links, we lose the information that the "Creature in the Case" was initially published separately. If we unlink one of the two, it looks like we lack information on that one. Therefore, keeping both linked to the same page is probably the best option. Nihiltres 22:09, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest redirecting "The creature in the case" ot Across the wall--Orannis the Destroyer 06:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Orannis the Ninth Bright Shiner (talk • contribs)

2012 update
The Creature in the Case, Nicholas Sayre and the Creature in the Case, and Across the Wall all redirect to the full title of the collection Across the Wall: A Tale of the Abhorsen and Other Stories.
The collection article is a stub that provides essentially two sentences information on "Nicholas Sayre ..." and less or none on the other stories. It does not explain the subtitle "A Tale of the Abhorsen and Other Stories"; neither confirms nor denies nor hints! re someone's comment (above) that all stories but one "are unrelated to the Old Kingdom Trilogy". --P64 (talk) 21:46, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Calusari[edit]

I added a Nix's book The Calusari to the other works section. I've never read the book, don't even know when it was published, but if anyone does know, we should probably put in that info! Emmett5 17:59, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pseudonym[edit]

Is it really necessary to state that "Garth Nix is not a pseudonym"? This is the only article which says that about anyone.

I think so, "Garth Nix" sounds like a pseudonym, especially since he writes dark fantasy. Emmett5 20:12, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

HarperCollins Children's Books Editions[edit]

Should I include the date of the Children's Books Printing. It is later than the London release dates, and also is from London.

In addition the covers are different, featuring a panorama view of the main character(s) (including for Abhorsen and Lirael, the Disreputable Dog. Should I upload these and add to the various Book pages? Or is it surplus given the existing adult books fantasy images.

Thanks in advance Philipwhiuk 19:55, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Such information is welcome in articles about the books or series. It belongs here only if discussion of the classification of Nix in general, or these books in particular, is considered notable. For example, is there something substantial to be said about their separate marketing to adult(?) and child readers. --P64 (talk) 21:46, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

FanLit.net link[edit]

I added a link to FanLit.net because it's a better resource than what is present. I think editors don't like that it's a newer resource, but it is better than those up here that have ads and not much useful content (I have even seen portals in the links for some authors). This is the kind of information readers want -- book covers, publication dates, reviews. I am a user of the website and find it very helpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chraak (talk • contribs) 14:46, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
