"Vivien (Dolores) Alcock" Obituary Notice at Answers.com

Answers cites three "Obituaries and other sources", evidently three obituaries:

• Independent (London, England), October 22, 2003, p. 18.

• Times (London, England), October 23, 2003, p. 38.

Several obituaries are listed here in multiple copies. Most copies are entirely available to me but some are not and availability may depend my seat in a university library. --P64 (talk) 18:05, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Some pages accept visitor contributions. — perhaps published/financed by Johnson & Alcock Ltd (Agent http://leongarfield.com/?page_id=129)? but that agency does not link here from its Authors: Estates: Garfield, Leon http://www.johnsonandalcock.co.uk/content/view/59/39/

Adaptations of Shakespeare

[WorldCat: Garfield reports that Garfield's work most widely held in participating libraries is Shakespeare Stories (Gollancz, 1985), a narrative adaptation of 12 plays. Volume II (Gollancz, 1994) covers 7 plays and ranks seventh in libraries. Among other things today, I added Ext links to WorldCat records for first editions of the two books. I also added the two books to Selected works.

In the text we continue to cover Garfield adaptations of Shakespeare only for the animated TV show and resulting Sam Wanamaker Award. --P64 (talk) 20:12, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
