De-merging

I have addressed the notability and reference issues. A few more things to come including a better plot summary. In the meantime, I have also realized that the order of publication is wrong for the series. This is the second to last book. Amazing Quest actually comes before, according to the sources. Odd that this mistake has been picked up, not sure from where. Justinkrivers (talk) 01:58, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Publication date and story timeline

Arrow Books sequences this explicitly as immediately following Further Adventures and preceding Amazing Quest, but the cited newspaper sources indicate the novel was indeed published at least a year or two later than Amazing Quest. In addition, the text of Amazing Quest says that the story takes place in 1780, and the text of Courageous Exploits says that the story takes place in 1781. So it seems probable that this was a mistake on the part of Arrow. In any case, with conflicting sources, the earliest and closest to original publication seem like the most reliable, which is why I have adjusted the sequence thus.
