Authors With the Most Film Adaptations - Page 3

It seems as though every other day there's an announcement of a new forthcoming film adaptation of a beloved (or just new) novel—after all, where else would great films come from? It's a huge deal to have your novel adapted for the big screen, but some authors probably don't even notice it anymore. There are plenty of writers whose works have been made into many, many films—William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, and Arthur Conan Doyle being the high rollers that immediately spring to mind. But with contemporary—read, living—authors, the field is a little slimmer. So I wondered—which living authors have had the most films adapted from their work (so far)?
