Notes

  • Cover title: "House Fairies"; Title page: "The House Fairies".
  • Each poem begins with a title page, a blank page, a full-page, full-color illustration, and then a 2-3 page poem, which generally also contains 2-3 b&w drawings. The illustration for the first poem is moved to become the frontispiece for the book.
  • The cover is the same as the image for the poem "Round the Corner".
  • The back of the dust jacket contains a listing of 12 additional Fairie books, "Uniform with this Volume". The price for each volume is listed as "2s. each". The verification copy, which is a 2nd impression, has this price overstruck with several red lines, and a new price "1s. 6d" overprinted. We have listed the original price with this record.
  • Wikipedia lists the same Fairie books as shown on the dust jacket, albeit in a different order.
