- Prose, verse, and illustrations
Records of the 1925 publications contain some and link much more information about the contents and contributors.
- "The Flying Carpet was an anthology of original short stories, original poems, and original illustrations" by prominent children's writers and illustrators. --Wikipedia: "Doctor Dolittle Meets a Londoner in Paris" (one of the short stories)
- Asquith "established a standard for ghost-story Anthologies that few have bettered. CA applied the same exacting standards to her anthologies for children, which contain many magical fantasies." --SFE: Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997), biog. entry by MA (Mike Ashley?)
- Perhaps the first Asquith anthology. The encyclopedia article cited above provides a list of works including 8 anthologies "as editor for children" published 1925 to 1932 and 1950 (this is the first, and the only in ISFDB as of 2017-04-06). The list may be selected for genre as well as the child audience. There may be no overlap of the "ghost-story Anthologies" and those for children.
