  • "[T]he book has several new tales from Costa Rica, Japan, and England, and [new] poems by Carl Sandburg, Rowena Bennett, and Aileen Fisher." --Polly Goodwin, Chicago Tribune 1965-10-24 pO15 "The Junior Bookshelf"
  • Publication year 1965 from the Kirkus Reviews notice (starred) and Chi. Tribune review. Otherwise not found 2017-06-06 in search (ghosts goblins harper) of US newspapers 1964 1965. The Library of Congress gives "[1965]", so the year may not be stated in the book, although some WorldCat libraries give 1965 simply.
  • ISFDB previously reported year 1964. The Supernatural Index gives year 1964 for a second publication of some stories that are in both versions. One WorldCat library gives 1964 for the new version (250 pages, short subtitle), {{OCLC|732677336}}. Perhaps there was a 1964 printing of the original version (271 pp), but the candidate WorldCat record gives copyright date 1964, {{OCLC|671307782}}.
