Mike | 28 comments This short story was originally published in 1904 and is now in the public domain—https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

It has been added to the series "Magical Creatures", which is a Weiser Books Collection of anthologies—https://www.goodreads.com/series/2146...

While Weiser Books did publish a copy of this short story, this public domain work should not be associated with a single publisher's collection, so it should be removed from this series.

There is also a random "unknown book by unkown" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...) with no other identifying information included in the series, which should probably be removed entirely.

Lists are not specific to a single edition, but apply to every edition of that work. Maybe we should replace the "Magical Creatures" series with a listopia?

Someone else should look into this, too.

I agree with both of you. I have removed A Kidnapped Santa Claus from the series.
