Getting invalid name(s) given in select related

I am getting the error invalid field name(s) given in select_related: ‘author_set’. Choices are : first_name, last_name, city, state, country

Below are my models:

class Author(models.Model):
    first_name = models.CharField(null=True, blank=True, max_length=50)
    last_name = models.CharField(null=True, blank=True, max_length=50)
    city = models.CharField(null=True, blank=True, max_length=50)
    state = models.CharField(null=True, blank=True, max_length=50)
    country = models.CharField(null=True, blank=True, max_length=50)


class Book(models.Model):
    author = models.ForeignKey(Author, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    title = models.CharField(null=True, blank=True, max_length=50)
    narration = models.CharField(null=True, blank=True, max_length=200)
    released = models.DateField()

The below command is raising the error

authors = Author.objects.select_related(“author_set”)

I have tried to use researched and don’t know why

>Solution :

Well it is rather strange, you use Author, and there is indeed no field author_set? There are (related) Books, yes. But then that would be book_set, and you don’t use .select_related(…) ^[Django-doc] for that, but .prefetch_related(…) ^[Django-doc], since it is a one-to-many relation:

authors = Author.objects.prefetch_related('book_set')
