The four titles are 'The Beautiful Years', 'Dandelion Days', 'The Dream of Fair Women' and 'The Pathway'. They were to be subtitled 'A Tale of Childhood', 'A Tale of Boyhood', 'A Tale of Youth' and 'A Tale of Life' through in the event only the first of these was used. The four books were first published respectively in 1921, 1922, 1924 and 1928; the tetralogy was first issued in a single volume in 1936.

This error is present here, but Matthews makes no mention of the fact. EXTREMELY SCARCE AS A SET IN THE LIMITED EDITION. Matthews, A1 1929a(ii), A3 1930a(ii), A5 1931a(ii), and A9 1931b.
