Notes

Three novels. Some library records credit primarily Noel Streatfeild, who wrote the introduction, apparently no more.

1st ed. {{OCLC|561783295}} (under long title/heading; as author Streatfeild) -- "Illustrated by the original artists." {{OCLC|314956050}} (as authors 3 novelists) -- no illus. credit {{OCLC|163782935}} (short title/heading) -- "Introduced by Noel Streitfeild" (no editor credit) -- "Illustr., by the original artists", respectively: •   orig. illustr. by Jessie Macgregor and Alfred W. Hunt •   30 illustr. by Alan Wright •   19 illustr. by Arthur Hughes Only the third WorldCat library record, evidently by a German library, credits the illustrators. In 1899 Alan Wright was so credited on the front cover, correctly, but credited as "Allan Wright" on the title page.

{{ASIN|B000VK00LS}} at Amazon UK as of 2017-01-26 (in error as Franklin Watts, US publisher) Front cover image from Amazon via same page -- shows Gollancz (spine) and 15/- (thus UK not US edition) -- shows illustrations (2) of the Dodo and the Back of the North Wind (plainly from comparison with originals) -- states "Illustrated with the original illustrations" over "576 PAGES — 15/-"
