On the front dust jacket cover, it states that ML is the sequel to PD. This puts ML firmly in the "imaginary" class with PD.
However the original ML dust jacket says "With Many Illustrations", it would be interesting to know when the change was made. If it was in AR's lifetime then presumably it was done with his full approval. If it was done after 1964,say, it may have been someone at Capes' putting the novel into logical order.
Does anyone know, please? Also I cannot remember if ML is mentioned elsewhere in subsequent novels.
I do find as I age, rapidly - so my adult children tell me, that ML becomes more readable.
