  • Notes:
    • Publication date, page-count, format, and cover image from Amazon UK/US 2018-04-29 (as "Red Fox Middle Fiction", paperback, 19.4cm/7.6in, no list price or back cover image)
    • Price from review that mentions "good drawings by Fritz Wegner", by Albert Read in Joanna Carey column The Guardian 1994-01-08 p27 "Journeys into the realms of fantasy".
    • WorldCat records (OCLC, below) do not specify the translation, nor a single page-count (OCLC 810454239 reports "[112]"). It's merely plausible that both the text and layout match the 1968 Bodley Head ed., the original publication of the illustrations by Wegner.
    • Cover illustration is by interior illustrator Wegner, or closely "after Wegner".
    • The preface to the 2000/2001 Jane Nissen Books ed. is added to this record 2018-06-22 based on two coincidences: it is signed "Fritz Wegner" over "London, 1993" and that book's copyright statement includes (c)1993 Wegner.
    • That 2000/2001 ed. contains 56 leaves (half of 112) and its story spans p7-96, followed by unnumbered pages. Those data may underly WorldCat reports of 96 and [112] pages for this ed., if it matches that one in those respects. (Front cover illustrations are identical.)
