It is implied that these five comprise stories clearly for adults in contrast to A Farm in Fairyland (1894) and some other collections. (Four published 1894 to 1904 are covered in The Encyclopedia of Fantasy, eds. Clute and Grant.)
  • "Later stories tend to dither somewhat, though his various volumes include Satires, Parodies and Fables of interest. These volumes include: [list of six, 1920 to 1952]". --SFE: Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997) (This one is fifth-published of the six and is named without comment.)
