Wikipedia:WikiProject Children's literature/Author list, from 1001 Children's Books
A list of the authors from Julia Eccleshare's 1001 Children's Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up (Cassell, 2009).
We have articles on far more than these of course; but we probably ought to have articles on all of these, so this may be a useful tracking list. Also the illustrators, where these were different from the author.
