PG http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/1286/pg1286.html

• gives "Tales from Shakespeare"
• identifies no source text; identifies no publisher, printer, location or date
• recommends comparison with "Tales of Shakespeare, by Charles and Mary Lamb"
• mentions no illustrations or artist
• gives several titles without lead articles including "Winter's Tale" of the 5 spec fic
• lists 21 contents including "Author's Preface", which actually appears as "Preface" (where "Winter's Tales" is both the listing and the heading of that story)

OCLC http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1457532

• gives "Tales from Shakespear: Designed for the use of young persons"
• shows 'Responsibility: by Charles Lamb ; embellished with copper-plates ; in two volumes.' and 'Notes: Coauthored by Mary Lamb.' (first of four items); this implies that the title page does not credit Mary

We say the spec fic is all in volume 1, but PG and OCLC show the 3 comedies we attribute to Mary in vol 1 and the two tragedies we attribute to Charles in vol 2 (Wikipedia not examined)
