    • Cover image from Amazon.com 2018-08-01 as "Harpercollins Childrens Books; 1st edition (March 1, 1980)", this ISBN. The label affixed states "HarperCrest", the Harper & Row imprint for library editions.
    • Cover artist is interior illustrator Jacobi, as expected for a 1st ed., certainly from comparison with a later ed. that retains the Jacobi interior art only (viewed as "Look inside" at Amazon.com 2018-08-01).
