The Complete Little Stories for Bedtime 1913 Edition

 

Thornton W. Burgess writing a bedtime story. (Publicity illustration)

As promised last post, I've compiled a second volume of Little Stories for Bedtime, this time covering a full year (1913), and have included an introduction and index, along with three appendices. The first appendix compiles publicity copy, reader comments, and other references to Burgess's stories in newspapers; the second appendix looks at names and natural history in the stories, this time focused on Peter Rabbit; the third details the publication of one of Burgess's favorite non-Little Stories for Bedtime stories, "The Joy of the Beautiful Pine." As always please alert me to any mistakes you might be discover so I can upload a revised edition, but I tried to be careful this time around.
