The Boxcar Children

Everything bearing the one-word "Boxcar Children" title descends from the 1942 Scott, Foresman rewrite or the later Albert Whitman series and is a reprint or a first thus. Modern facsimile/reprint editions of the original text are an active trap: Albert Whitman's "The Box-Car Children: The Original 1924 Edition" (ISBN 9780807510322), the Dover reissue (ISBN 9780486838519), and a full-color reprint (ISBN 9781645940487) all reproduce the 1924 text and Gregory illustrations but are current-imprint reprints. The 1924 text is also freely available at Project Gutenberg (ebook 42796), which confirms the original readings but is not a physical issue point.
