"This book was published originally in 1875, under the title of "A Man's Boot and other Tales."  It is written by Miss Gertrude Sellon, whose sister's writings for children are also so well known.  The First Edition was illustrated by Harrison Weir, but the title was against it, and the sale for years was slow.  In 1882 it was re-issued with its present title, and since that date it has enjoyed very great popularity."--Note.
