Note: Exact publication date unknown. University of Victoria McPherson Library catalogue has the publication date listed as "between 1860-1869?" However, the introduction to the novel includes a bibliography of Mrs. Henry Wood's books, the latest dating 1883. Furthermore, the writer of the introduction, Katharine Tynan, and the illustrator, Harold Piffard, were born in 1859 and 1867, respectively. Neither would have been old enough to make their contributions if the book was published between 1860-1869. An AbeBooks.com listing of the same edition lists the publication date as 1910, but this is unverified.
