Ford, who also designed the dazzling gilt cover.About Nora Lang's contribution to this book, Andrew Lang writes in the preface, "Mrs. Lang, except in cases mentioned, has translated and adapted to the conditions of young readers the bulk of the collection." For that work, to this day she is not credited as the author, except, perhaps, by me.[i-v] vi-ix [x-xi] xii [xiii] xiv-xv [xvi] [1] 2-336 pages plus eight inserted color plates.
