Source for date
Listed in Routledge's wholesale catalogue of December 1852 as no. 9 of Aunt Mavor's picture books for little readers
Listed in Routledge's wholesale catalogue of November 1855 (with same illustrations but different text and title) as no. 2 of Aunt Mavor's picture books for little children (see pcb2352)
Listed twice on lower wrapper both as no. 2, Mr. Fox and Miss Hare, and no. 9, Plouquet's stuffed birds, etc. (see hereby) Soon afterward, no. 9 was withdrawn from listings and all titles consequently shifted
After September 1857, it became no. 2 of Aunt Mavor's toy books for little readers, further simplified, after 1859, to Aunt Mavor's toy books (see pcb2529)
Early publishers' advertisements (e.g. at the end of The boys' own story-book (London: Routledge, 1852), n.p.) describe the series as: "Uniform in size with Dean & Darton's large coloured sixpenny books for children. With greatly improved illustrations, new types, and well coloured pictures, an entirely new series of 13 different books."
