  • 12 stories Six of the stories are those selected and translated by Lafcadio Hearn in 1882 as One of Cleopatra's Nights and Other Fantastic Romances (see).
  • "Translated from the French" It's uncertain that six of the translations are those by Hearn in 1882. Those are listed in the publication record (February 2019), and must be expected here, because this collection contains Hearn's preliminary note "To the Reader" and Hearn's "Addenda", or notes on three of the six stories.

    The other six stories are listed here (February 2019) as 2011 titles. Some but not all match the titles of known previously published English-language versions.
