Transcriber's Note
The story [SAILOR BABIES] seems to end rather abruptly, and the poem following, [PRETTY POLLY PRIMROSE], seems to start in the middle. Another copy of the book was checked and found to be the same, with no sign of a missing page, so this is probably a printing error.
The poem starting "[Dick and Gray]" was originally in the middle of the story [THE RETURN OF THE BIRDS]; the poem has been moved before that story for readability.
The second page of the story [DIME AND BETTY], starting "I drive Betty to pasture every day," was obtained from a different copy of the book, which was identical in all aspects except the layout of the copyright page.
The story [THE TOWER OF LONDON] consistently refers to Anne Boleyn as Anna Boleyn. This has been preserved as printed.
Punctuation errors have been repaired. Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation has been preserved as printed across different pieces, but made consistent within individual pieces, as follows:
[IN THE WOODS]—Molly amended to Mollie—"“You were mistaken, Mollie, I’m sure.”"
