HathiTrust Digital Library provides full view of two copies with original cover. Only one, linked here, contains sharp images of the text; a superior copy except some colour images of the plates.

Printed on one side only, except half-title leaf. The verso is blank, after the half-title (Macmillan logo) and frontispiece leaves. -- Cover title: no quotation marks -- leaf [i] only is printed on both sides, half-title (single q-marks) and logo -- [iii], <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/2027/uc1.b3579158?urlappend=%3Bseq=8">title page</a>, single q-marks -- iv-v, "Illustrations", lists 15 (frontispiece and 14 plates included in the pagination) -- vi, "The Return of the Children" (poem) -- narrative, p7-80, spans 74 leaves (14 plates, 60 text); p80 closes "Printed by Bemrose & Sons Ltd., Derby and London."

"Printed on one side of leaf only." (except half-title leaf, with publisher logo) "Printed on one side of leaf only." (except title leaf, with copyrights and publication date)

leaves 7-79 are identical to the 1905 UK edition, apparently The first six leaves differ. Indeed, the boxed list "Books By Rudyard Kipling" as second leaf replaces the poem that precedes the story in the UK ed., "The Return of the Children". HDL copies of the US ed. show guard sheets for all of the plates

The book title is fashioned with single quotation marks throughout: front cover, half-title and title pages, running header.

The UK and US evidently differ only in the front cover, first six leaves, and last leaf (printer statement). HDL digital copies of the US ed. alone contain images of guard sheets for all the plates.

"They" (August 1904 Scribner's Magazine; 1905 chap) is a ghost story.

"Thy Servant a Dog": Told by Boots (coll of linked stories 1930 chap; exp vt "Thy Servant a Dog" and Other Dog Stories 1933) contains three animal fantasies of almost perverse – but quite astonishingly eloquent – intensity.

The Pleasure Cruise (11 November 1933 Morning Post; 1933 chap), a short fantasy play based on Lucian's Conversations in the Underworld, predicts the advent of World War Two if Germany is not resisted.

Later tales include [list of 6]

"Wireless" (August 1902 Scribner's Magazine; in Traffics and Discoveries, coll 1904), in which amateur-radio experiments make Communication across Time possible, linking a chemist's-shop assistant and John Keats via a kind of Telepathy;

"The Army of a Dream" (15-18 June 1904 Morning Post; in Traffics and Discoveries, coll 1904), a Utopian vision of Near-Future militarized England in which – prefiguring the society of Robert A Heinlein's Starship Troopers (October-November 1959 F&SF as "Starship Soldier"; 1959) – voting rights and other social privileges must be earned by volunteer service; --q

"The House Surgeon" (September-October 1909 Harper's Monthly), in Actions and Reactions (coll 1909), which explains a ghost in terms of Psi Powers;

"In the Same Boat" (December 1911 Harper's Monthly), in A Diversity of Creatures (coll 1917), suggests a prenatal cause for bouts of irrational dread, not unlike the "engrams" of Scientology;

"The Eye of Allah" (September 1926 Strand), in Debits and Credits, implies the Alternate History that is almost generated when a microscope falls into the hands of medieval English churchmen, revealing a world of "demon" animalculae and bacteria;

and "Unprofessional" (October 1930 Saturday Review of Literature), assembled in Limits and Renewals (coll 1932), suggests that planetary "tides" may affect human tissue.
