MissLemon | 13 comments The original publications date of this is listed at 1935, which is incorrect for this collection of stories. The original short story Problem at Pollensa Bay was first published in a magazine in that year, but this collection contains other stories published at later dates. This book form was first published in the UK in 1991

Is it possible to amend please?

Sandra | 31446 comments The original publication date should be the publication date of the latest story in the anthology, not when the actual book was published.

Working on it.

Sandra | 31446 comments OK 2 of the short stories were first published in 1971 ~ Harlequin Tea Set & Next to a Dog. The others are a mixture of 1920's & 30's with one being 1950.

So changing it to 1971.

I don't agree that the publication date should be 1971 but I do understand this is Goodreads policy so thank you for at least making this closer to the 'correct' date.


Jack Heath | 1 comments The correct dates are in the separate entries for each of the 8 stories. The important date is the collection pub date, 1991.
