For this great-grandparent challenge, in honour of the pleasures of having a story read to you (or reading a story), I have chosen more children's authors.

The task is to seek out, source, and add profiles for as many missing great-grandparents as you can find. The rules are the same as for Quest for Great-Grandparents: Storytime Edition - The First Chapter.

Name Great-grandparents
Richard Adams (England) 4
Wilbert Awdry (England) 4
James Barrie (Scotland) 6
L. Frank Baum (USA) 6
Michael Bond (England) 4
Frances Hodgson Burnett (England) 0
Charles Dickens (England) 2
Louise Fitzhugh (USA) 2
C. S. Forester (Egypt) 2
Kenneth Grahame (Scotland) 2
Madeleine L'Engle (USA) 3
Edward Stratemeyer (USA) 0
P. L. Travers (Australia) 8!
W. G. van de Hulst (Netherlands) 6

Awesome, Greg! These mini-challenges of yours are terrific.

Somebody has connected the final two great-grandparents for P.L. Travers, which pushed this challenge into 12th place in terms of percent complete, at 40.2%, and 11th place in terms of great-grandparents still to find, at 67.

Somebody has added two great-grandparents for Louise Fitzhugh, which leaves this challenge in 13th place in terms of percent complete, at 42%. In terms of great-grandparents still to find, it's in 12th place, at 65.

Somebody has added a great-grandparent for Richard Adams, and one for Wilbert Awdry, which leaves this challenge in 15th place in terms of percent complete, at 43.8%. In terms of great-grandparents still to find, it's in 14th place, at 63.

Kenneth Grahame now has another set of grandparents - I'll need to go back and source them properly though!

Thank you, Sheena! It would be kind of hard to find his great-grandparents without grandparents! wink
