 It is not entirely clear how long the book remained continuously in print.According to Gary Kelly, a prominent Wollstonecraft scholar, the last edition of "Original Stories" was published in 1820, but without Wollstonecraft's name on the title page; by that time she had become a reviled figure in Britain because her husband, William Godwin, had revealed her unorthodox lifestyle in his "Memoirs of the Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" (1798).According to Alan Richardson and the editors of the "Masterworks of Children's Literature" series, "Original Stories" was published until 1835.
