Notes


18 stories (1882) 19 stories (Gutenberg 11592) The 19-story print collection, if any, is unknown as of July 2019.

Vol III of The Works of Juliana Horatia Ewing (Boston: Little, Brown, no date, circa 1900) contains the same 18 stories. The Project Gutenberg ebook simply appends one story. That extra story, "Under the Sun", was one of the original series, published from November 1869 as Old-Fashioned Fairy Tales, I to VIII. Later stories were not numbered; none are numbered in the collection, whose sequence is new.

All 19 stories were first published in Aunt Judy's Magazine, vols. 8-15. The first 16 each contained one large illustration by {{a|A. W. Bayes}}, credited in the volume lists of illustrations; engraved by Horace Harral and signed "H. Harral" more prominently than "AWB".

As of July 2019 the earliest 16 magazine stories alone may be viewed at HathiTrust Digital Library, which holds a complete set of bound volumes 1-11, ending October 1873, when the magazine was edited by Ewing's mother and its founder {{a|Mrs. Alfred Gatty}}. Thereafter HathiTrust holds only a few late volumes.
