    Bought these 2 books online (along with a bunch of other stuff).

    With Google, I've only been able to find editions of the Golden Goose that look like these:

    Any idea when my edition was published?

    Didn't find a publication date, but as it mentions Queen Alexandria, this should be somewhere between 1901 and 1910, right?

    I think this would be Alexandra, the Queen Mother. So from between Edward's death in 1910 & her own in 1925.

    An interesting tie in from the Wiki article on Alexandra:

    Occasionally, Hans Christian Andersen was invited to call [at Alexandra's childhood home] and tell the children stories before bedtime.
