Old Yeller

Fred Gipson · Harper & Brothers (New York) · 1956

The census claim is corrected: the American Harper & Brothers 1956 is the true first, but the first UK edition is Hodder & Stoughton, London, 1957 — not Collins. The Hodder first UK printing states "First Published 1957" on the copyright page with no reprint statement. Only the Harper 1956 is the true first; the Hodder 1957 is collected as the first English edition.
