Little Tim and the Brave Sea Captain

Correcting the census note: this is not separate UK and US editions but a single Oxford University Press edition of 1936 issued under one imprint reading London, New York, Toronto, with the sheets printed in the United States. There is therefore no UK-vs-US precedence contest — the 1936 OUP issue is the true first. The major trap is the 1955 edition (Oxford University Press in the UK; Henry Z. Walck, Inc., New York in the US), which was completely redesigned and redrawn with additional text: a "first thus" of a different work, not a reprint of the 1936 text.
