  • Notes:
    • Data primarily from Amazon UK as of 2015-01-21
    • Library of Congress (LCCN and OCLC 909287920) reports: -- (no page-count or size; unexamined presumably) -- "First/Originally published : 1950" (no, 1960 is correct) -- "chiefly illustrations (colour)" -- "chosen and edited by Kathleen Lines" Compare the illustrator's best-known work Lavender's Blue: A Book of Nursery Rhymes (Oxford, 1954), also edited by Lines. OCLC 494006805, OCLC 70458786 Presuming that the 2004 facsimile ed. of that work uses its original cover illustration, comparison makes clear that these are companion works/publications and Jones is the cover artist of this book too; and suggests that this cover illustration and design match the 1960 original by Jones.
