Juvenile audience. "School and Home Education", v. 29, May 1910, p. 309, says of the editor: "Of the wise compiler, no hint is given." The story by John Ruskin was published anonymously. The version of "Siegfried" is probably by Dora Ford Madeley, and comparison of the texts would probably demonstrate this, but we have no verification of that yet. "The Story Without an End" is translated from the German by Sarah Austin. Data from WorldCat.
