About the Author

Includes the names: brownjohnbuchanan, J. (Editor); Buchanan-Brown

Disambiguation Notice:

It looks as if John Buchanan-Brown, the editor/biographer/translator who edited Le Mot Juste and Cassell's Encyclopaedia of World Literature, may well be a different John Buchanan-Brown to the one who wrote books on illustration: different interests, publishers, and slightly different time frames but there's insufficient information so far to split the name.
