I have just started an illustrated omnibus of the Beatrix Potter children's stories (Peter Rabbit, etc). Her illustrations are simply lovely, and even though there are upwards of 500 images, and even though I swore to take a break from illustrations, I could not resist.
I am using the 22 tales published before 1923, and one published 1930.

The only copy I found of Little Pig Robinson (1930) is on Gutenberg Canada with rather small poor-quality images. Strangely, I am unable to find ANY illustrated copy of Appley Dapply (1917). Archive.org has let me down.

If anyone has a lead for either of these two, I will give you two gold stars and a chocolate-chip cookie!

@Jellby --- ok, I've been away for a bit. What's your decision? Alas, I have never worked with a wiki, doesn't it need special markup language? Let me know what help you need.
