OCLC: illustrations uncredited Publ date, price, and illustrator credit from 1902 newspapers --blurb The Scotsman -10-13 p2 concludes "most amusingly and beautifully illustrated by [HRM]." --listing Manchester Guardian -10-14 p9 "Today's New Books" (received) gives price --notice The Globe (Toronto) -11-01 p22 "published last week", London (not in hand, apparently hoping that the "Five Children" are the Bastable siblings) Reginald1 may credit the cover illustration H. R. Millar illustrated the contemporary 9-part serial that comprised "parts of" the book--and serial versions of 8 other Nesbit books The Strand, all of which were first published as books with his illustrations. In the serial and the 1905 US book (both viewed as e-copies at HathiTrust Digital Library) many illustrations are plainly signed "H.R. Millar 1902"; many are identical in the two formats.
