Notes:
This index is based on the "Bantam Book" edition. I hear that
Penguin books has an edition sold in Europe that has 220 pages, not 214.
That is, the material is spread over six more pages in that edition--the
pages listed here will differ.
I have not looked into the different editions available, except to verify that
the pages match
the paperbacks currently on sale in the U.S. (And my copy, dated 1986.)
Also unfortunately, the fiftieth anniversary (2001) edition, a large paperback book with
the red carrousel horse on both the front and back covers,
has very
different paging.
