    Year confirmed (summer probable) by known contemporary Kirkus Reviews 1949-06-15 (posted 2012 with later cover image, ISBN, page-count): "The new pictures by J.S. Goodall, unfortunately, have such an old-fashioned quality that they belie the timelessness of the story and give the book a dated look."

    Cover artist probably Goodall, whose work was used on the cover of the 1960 Looking Glass Library ed. with his interior illustrations (ISFDB states).
