BIBLIOGRAPHY
2006 Masaki, I.364 ("Front covers of the first series of Aunt Mavor's picture books for little readers carry the series' title Aunt Mavor's picture books for little children except for titles adopted directly from the 1852 versions of Aunt Mavor's picture books for little readers"), 365 ("This series was recycled from Aunt Mavor's picture books for little readers, and was listed in Aunt Mavor's toy books in 1857 as no. 1-13. Therefore the titles of AMLC-1-13 move straight forward to AM-1-13"), 366
