(We can easily fix the catalog pages, but fixing the ID tags on the files will be a bear.Groner's first name is spelled Auguste, not Augusta. This title and others by Groner all have the same misspelling.
Author name misspelled [FIXED]

But on the main page for each, they say Auguste. And the Wikipedia article has Auguste.
It is an interesting development. I bet they were at PG exclusively as Augusta, but they changed their author database entry (and not the texts).

Archive scans of two books have Augusta:

https://archive.org/details/menetekeltaleofs00gron
Stranger and stranger. I say, leave it in as Augusta but put Auguste as a pseudonym, or vice versa.

I've added "Augusta Groner" to the pseudonyms. I think that's all we need to do.

On a related note, three of Auguste's books show a Grace Isabel Colbron as second author:
https://librivox.org/author/2060
According to gutenberg (the bib tab below), she was the translator, although she's been mentioned in the text itself (on top with the metadata) as co-author. I think what she did write was the short "Introduction to Joe Muller" which seems to be the same in every book, so more of a translator's introduction.
Hence, I'd vote for "demoting" Ms. Colbron to translator for these.
Objections?
(And thanks for giving me something to read )

Sounds good to me.
(And yes, those other books looked interesting! "Joe Muller: detective : being the account of some adventures in the professional experience of a member of the imperial Austrian police"? Right up your alley!)

I'm off to demoting her then.
She wrote A LOT of books, this series being her most famous one apparently.

The stories are pretty good as I recall. I may add some of the ones that haven't been done yet to my list of possible projects...
