Name[edit]

Her name is sometimes (e.g. in my version of The Man in the Queue) spelled MacKintosh (with a capital K). ChKa 14:22, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mertz misplaced?[edit]

Shouldn't the reference to something by Barbara Mertz be less prominent, presumably in the section on related works?

Rogersansom (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:10, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did it, but please feel free to be bold and make other improvements yourself. Rivertorch (talk) 18:34, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Birth name[edit]

On Oct 1st 2020, I deleted the bolding of her birth name in the lede, since it is an unlikely search-term, and distracts from the two names she used in professional life, both correctly set in bold. This was soon reverted with no reason given. I suggest reinstating. Valetude (talk) 02:25, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Death notice and John Gielgud[edit]

The article states that Tey's friend John Gielgud read about her death in The Times at a matinée during his run in The Winter's Tale. Tey's obituary in that publication appeared on 15 February 1952, whereas the play had closed by then.^[1]^[2] Anybody know where this came from, or should it be deleted as too much information?

Fictional Britain?[edit]

“These novels are set in the same fictional 20th-century Britain as the Inspector Grant novels.” In what way are her books set in a “fictional” Britain? Am I missing some thing? Otherwise I will change it to say they are set in 20th C Britain. Ivesiana (talk) 20:39, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
