Archaic spelling is preserved as printed. Variable spelling and inconsistent hyphenation is preserved as printed across different pieces, but has been made consistent within pieces if there was a prevalence of one form. Punctuation and printer errors (e.g. omitted or transposed letters) have been repaired.
The following amendments have also been made:
Page [133]—omitted word 'the' added—"“Tell mother we want to make coffee in the field, too” ..."
Page [341]—mud amended to snow, based on the context—"... enable it to wade through the deep snow, ..."
In the story "How a Good Dinner was Lost" the older sister is named as both Rosa and Rosy.
Illustrations have been moved where necessary so that they are not in the middle of a paragraph. Omitted page numbers were the original location of full page illustrations.
