    • Library of Congress (LCCN and OCLC 909287920) reports: -- (no page-count or size; unexamined presumably) -- "First/Originally published : 1950" (no, 1960 is correct) -- "chiefly illustrations (colour)" -- "chosen and edited by {{A|Kathleen Lines}}" Compare the illustrator's best-known work Lavender's Blue: A Book of Nursery Rhymes (Oxford, 1954), also edited by Lines. {{OCLC|494006805}}, {{OCLC|70458786}} Presuming that the 2004 facsimile ed. of that work uses its original cover illustration, comparison makes clear that these are companion works/publications and Jones is the cover artist of this book too; and suggests that this cover illustration and design match the 1960 original by Jones.
