Notes


27 stories (inferred) This is a truncated edition of 1907 anthology Magic Casements: A Second Fairy Book.

  • Published early in 1946 Other sets were published for the annual Christmas gift season, and advertised in Parents' Magazine no later than the December issue.
  • What Every Child Should Know Library, 6th series (set of six, others non-genre) Price $1.16 represents $7.00 for the set, or $1 monthly for eight months. --advertisement by Keep-Worth Books, Inc., Parents' Magazine 1946-01 p120; as "the new 1946 series"
  • WorldCat (OCLC, below) reports "x, 293 pages : 1 color illustrations". A color frontispiece, not credited in the book, is expected from the example of other titles in the publication series.
  • Probably this set missed the 1945 Christmas gift season, awaiting establishment of its book publishing subsidiary Keep-Worthy Books by The Parents' Institute. Automated search of Parents' Magazine returns no hit for the publisher prior to 1946-01, where its street address 52 Vanderbilt Avenue matches that of The Parents' Institute in earlier advertisements of this series, and on some series title pages viewed online.
