Author talk:Charles John Tibbits

Identified reprints
Tibbits published eleven books in two years, with tales and stories from many languages. It seems unlikely that he translated them all himself. Here are the sources that I've found so far (I've tried to find the first edition these stories were translated in, but it's at least as likely that may have found them from any of the times they were reprinted). They often seem to be edited to make them more streamlined (perhaps a skill he learned as editor of several local newspapers): -- Yodin T 18:21, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Terrible Tales year
The Terrible Tales books don't have a publication date on the title page, etc. But this publisher's catalogue from October 1890 says they "are now ready". -- Yodin T 12:22, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
