    • One dealer at ABEbooks.com (Arroyo Seco Books, Pasadena, California; Member IOBA; Inventory # 008923) describes the front cover and incomplete dustjacket, gives the 1907 date, and otherwise reports in part: • Publisher: John Lane, The Bodley Head, London / New York • Illustrator: Color Plates By Edmund Dulac (Cover and Dust Jacket Design By William Henry Romaine Walker) • Frontispiece and seven full page color plates by Edmund Dulac WorldCat records report, infer, and guess these data variously. The dealer report seems credible. Later 117-page eds. from other publishers (viewed at HathiTrust, transcribed at Gutenberg) list 8 illustrations, show the frontispiece and 7 plates not included in the pagination.
