Price from original invoice when purchased (private subscription, 2005) There are multiple illustrations throughout the volume, but they are uncredited. Some of them have a partial signature which matches that of the Victorian English illustrator Stanley L. Wood (signed as "S L Wood <date>"), who is known to have done 100 illustrations for one of the American editions of this series. All interior illustrations are by Wood. From page 291 on is a section titled "Appendix: Variants and Analogues of Some of the Tales in Vols. I and II." It consists of commentary by W. A. Clouston.
