Author talk:Frederick William Read
F. W. Read vs. Frederick Williams Read
editI don't think that is the same guy.
The link from worldcat was a redirect to this but viaf and ULAN don't agree yet. Frederick William Read is an author, F. W. Read is an illustrator. There are two separate viaf for this, and I think there are two people for it and that worldcat was wrong. I did not look at your link.
One of the reasons that I think this is that Frederick has authored stuff about logistics and large scale growing, but F. W. illustrated children's literature and is a painter.
viaf for F. W. Read https://viaf.org/viaf/95762248/ and ULAN for the painter https://www.getty.edu/vow/ULANFullDisplay?find=&role=&nation=&subjectid=500013303
