George P. Mod
None of these three are "core" 1001 books, ie, in every edition. The Dark Child was added to a later edition while the other two were in the first edition and dropped in the 2008 edition. The Dark Child is nonfiction, autobiographical; I've read it and think he may have had a ghost-writer or uncredited writer assistant but I liked it.
