Ghosts and Goblins, ed. Wilhemina Harper, 1936 (30) and 1965 (34) anthologies (38 distinct contents)

LibraryThing coverage is expanding [1]
error "all editions" where 1936 and 1965 differ (stories/poems and probably illustrators too)

check newspapers (not limited to Ghosts & Goblins contents: 1895/96, 1917/19, 1921, 1923 (alden/lohse), 1924/25 (Wonder Tales), 1948 (Dolittle too), 1957, 2003/2013 (Donegal)

1926 1970/71 1994 Skunny Wundy

check for each original anthology/collection whether Amazon shows 21st century editions

Published as "The Nurse's Tale: The Wishing-Well" in the American children's monthly St. Nicholas 45.3 (January 1918), p.202-04 (e-copy at HathiTrust Digital Library). This is the only prose story, following three verses, in the first serial part of The Joyous Travelers, which begins under the heading: The Joyous Travelers. Verses by Emilie Poulsson and Stories by Maud Lindsay. Thus written by Lindsay alone, perhaps, although it incorporates a brief poem.

Published as "The Nurse's Tale: The Wishing-Well" in Lindsay and Poulsson, The Joyous Travelers (Lothrop, Lee & Shepard, June 1919), p15-21 (viewed at HDL). The title page does not distinguish the co-authors, but the numbered list of 37 contents appears under the three-line heading "Contents // Verses by Emilie Poulsson // Stories by Maud Lindsay."

Both the 1918 serial and the 1919 book are illustrated by W. M. Berger. --in queue
