Answer is possibly W. H. Auden because he was a children's author - Thomas the Tank Engine series - and also is he the only one who was a clergyman?

I'm not sure of the answer but W H Auden didn't write the Thomas the Tank Engine books - that was Reverend Wilbert Awdry.

I'd say TS Elliot, as it's both misspelt (deliberately?) and lacking the fullstops of the other options. Though if spelling isn't the clue, then the question is so vague it could be any of them!

My thanks to gdmoney for the correction, but I still think the answer is W. H. Auden as he was the only one to turn down the Nobel prize for Literature and he was Irish and I think the other 2 are American.
