Author credit as "Ada Harrison" is from images provided by online dealers: front/spine book cover and front/spine dust jacket of the 1st ed.; back/spine/front jacket of the 1st US ed.; front cover of a reprint UK ed. "Ada M. Harrison" appears to be the canonical name of the writer at the British Library, Library of Congress, and WorldCat; but the national library records do not clearly report how she is credited on the title pages of 1957 and 1958 eds. of this work. There is some WorldCat and newspaper support for "Ada Harrison", and none found 2018-11-17 for "Ada M."
