Short biography
Disambiguation notice
John Collier is at least two authors - J.C. (1901-1980), born in England and J.C.(1884-1968), an American social reformer and native American advocate. The former's works include several novels (e.g. His Monkey wife, Defy the Foul Fiend, etc.) and many short stories (e.g. as collected in Fancies and Goodnights): he also wrote about John Aubrey.

The latter is, presumably, responsible for the books about Native American issues.

JC (1913-1992) is a photographer.

There are a few books not easily attributable to either man - those on China, American Civil War graves and a Picture Puffin - which may mean there are more John Colliers.

I do wonder about the author's photograph which looks nothing like the picture on a 1948 copy of Defy the Foul Fiend - even allowing for the passage of time.
Added: I identified a couple of works as by J.C. (1884-1968) and assigned them #2. The photo could be an older version of one I found of him via Google Images. But I don't know why the copyright date on this one would be 2007.

Is this you?

If you're an author, consider becoming an official LibraryThing Author.

This entry includes…

  • John Collier

Combine with…

What?

Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary?

A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly.

Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above?

A: Yes you can.

Q: I know an author is separate, but my nemesis keeps combining them! Can I take a name off the combination list?

A: Yes you can.

Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not.

Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author?

A: No authors.

Q: I am the nemesis and I'm right!

A: Take it to the Combiners group.
