Five Children and It

UK T. Fisher Unwin, London, 1902 is the true first in book form, and the census is correct. The first American edition is Dodd, Mead & Company, New York, 1905, likewise with Millar's illustrations — published three years after the London edition, so no simultaneity or precedence question arises and the American edition is a distinct, separately collected first American rather than a rival true first. First volume of the Psammead trilogy, followed by The Phoenix and the Carpet (1904) and The Story of the Amulet (1906).
