Thank you again, Bookworm_girl for these useful links!
I have the version from Bamtam Classics; might that be the 'good one' to read?
In any case, the book starts well as it is dedicated to:
"Sarah Orne Jewett
in whose beautiful and delicate work
there is the perfection
that endures"
Isn't that a coïncidence, as that is the writer I voted for. Well, on reading now...
