Notes:

Dust jacket art by Theodore Nadejen

In his bibliography, Mike B lists A12.a, The Story of Wan and the Remarkable Shrub, and The Story of Ching-kwei and the Destinies. This was apparently a separate Doubleday Doran printing of two stories from Kai Lung Unrolls his Mat, bound in wraps, pp.98, 1927. This is obviously a scarce item. It appears that Mike has never seen a copy, and neither have I.
