It's not clear to me if one (or both) of the entries is mistaken about the year, or if they represent two different editions - there do seem to have been several. The illustrator was Nikolai Kuzmin (1890-1987), and they have a page of information on him <a href="http://www.worldcat.org/wcidentities/lccn-n82-141501" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
