Advertised by the publisher as one of "Six Enchanting Books for Little Readers", Chicago Daily Tribune 1911-10-21 p20:
"Books that take the small boy and girl on happy voyages into a magic country where all is fair. No bogies to frighten, no bedtime terrors. Children who read these books live in a fairy world where there is no evil."
- First edition. Copyright 1911.
- Interior art includes 12 color plates, and 12 b/w illustrations. Later printings include only three of the color plates, with the same b/w illustrations. (Verification copy is a later printing.)
- Does not include "The Rose of the Desert", which appears to have been added with the 1925 edition.
- Pages at the beginning are numbered up to ix, but Arabic numbers are used from p. 13 on, and continue the count of the Roman numerals, hence are not specified separately in the page count.
- There is another WorldCat record, {{OCLC|61057966}}, which claims to be for this edition. However, it's page count is very clearly incorrect for this edition, and is the same as the 1925 edition, so the creator of that record surely had the second edition in hand while creating that record.
