Grandmother Gift ("fairy tale") A review by M.L., Christian Science Monitor 1932-05-07 p6 "Burnished Fantasia", covers all six stories briefly. It provides these six story titles and the parenthetical information, but identifies only one in sequence (6). Unsigned review, NY Times 1932-05-22 pBR3 "In the Mood of the Ettrick Shepherd", names five stories, none in sequence, with a different title for one. • Godmother's Gift ("fairy tale")
