The entries in this anthology vary in quality. My personal favorite is "Beware of the Chest". Sadly, only one illustration is signed. Doubleday didn't even bother to repaginate the excerpts they reprinted. I'll include the page numbers as they appear in this book, if the pages are numbered at all. The person who compiled this anthology is not named. The title page for each piece has a drawing of what I think is meant to be a gypsy girl. The table of contents is illustrated by a lady with a feather in her hair bowing to a king and a queen enthroned.
