Note: 10 stories "Edited by" KDW and NAS, per the title page (1st ed. and Project Gutenberg). Project Gutenberg file headers list them as "Editors" under "Author: Unknown". This selection and retelling contains none of the story-telling frame story, the story of Scheherazade, and the non-fiction Preface by Wiggin does not mention it. The Preface does not address children primarily, but it shows that the co-author/editors (sisters and educators) do intend child readers: "... It would be a delightful task to any boy or girl to begin at the beginning and read the first English version of these famous stories ... You can also read them in Scott's edition or in Lane's (both of which, but chiefly the former, we have used as the foundation of our text), while your elders--philologists or Orientalists-- are studying the complete versions of John Payne or Sir Richard Burton. ..."
