There are at least three writers whose real name actually is "Maxwell Grant." Probably the best 'known' of these Maxwell Grants is the Australian author and screenplay writer (films & TV) born in 1937. His best known novels are Barrier Reef (1980), Inherit the Sun (1981), and Blood Red Rose (1986). All are fiction and I know the last two were also published in hardback & paperback editions here in the U.S. because I have them in my library. One of his better known screenplays is for the 1997 family movie Joey about a boy trying to rescue a kangaroo (for which he was also an Associate Producer).

Given that there are other Maxwell Grants, I think any search on the name should go to a "disambiguation page" first, even if there are no entries/pages for the other Grants. It would at least let the searcher know that there ARE other people with that name who have accomplished things.

I would also like to see an entry/page created for the Maxwell Grant I mentioned above. 2600:8800:50B:6700:C23F:D5FF:FEC5:89B6 (talk) 09:27, 31 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
