                 My main interest is to show the progression of the
                illustration styles over time. For that reason, I have sorted by
                the copyright date of the interior illustrations in the copy
                displayed, not by the number assigned the title. The number
                below each book indicates the number first given to that title.
                Further information about which printing or edition is shown, or
                details about changes made, are noted as known. 
                For
                a list of my books in order by the number assigned to the title,
