Illustration by Pauline Baynes

Notes toward better coverage here and at The Borrowers and Pauline Baynes.

Diana L. Stanley (at WorldCat, dates?) (at ISFDB) had illustrated the first four Borrowers novels (first editions, J.M. Dent, 1952 to 1961) and the 1966 short fiction "Poor Stainless", The Eleanor Farjeon Book (Hamilton, 1966)[1].

Pauline Baynes (at WorldCat, 1922-2008) illustrated the U.K. edition of The Borrowers Avenged (1982). Diana L. Stanley was deceased --we say at Pauline Baynes without a reference; probably I read that in one of the Baynes obituaries.

Beth and Joe Krush (Beth at WorldCat, 1918-2009) had illustrated the U.S. editions of the first four novels and they did this one too.

Omnibus editions retained Stanley and Baynes illustrations. http://lccn.loc.gov/67094657 ; http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?274602 ; http://www.bookdepository.com/Complete-Borrowers-Stories-Mary-Norton/9780140384161

Poor Stainless story incorporated?

Vaguely I recall reading that the short story "Poor Stainless" was incorporated in this concluding book.

In ISFDB it is not part of The Borrowers series.[2] There it is a novelette and a collection with the same title (Poor Stainless, Viking UK, 1994) --comprising "Poor Stainless (revised)", 1971, with a new two-page introduction by Norton, and another revised story.[3]

In the Library of Congress it is a book (Poor Stainless: a new story about the Borrowers, Harcourt, 1971), whose 31-page length suggests a children's picture book.LC: Poor Stainless (1971)
