Tales (coll trans J Mendel 1886 UK), which is relatively complete ... (end quote) --SFE: Encyclopedia of Fantasy, biographical entry by John Clute

For each cycle, ISFDB publication records list the frame story once, followed by the contained stories in sequence. But a contained story may be followed by several pages rather than several lines of the frame story.
