Note: - Both novels were published as 11-part serials illustrated by H.R. Millar, in The Strand Magazine January to November 1908 and 1909.
The first page of the latter serial, issue 37:1 p105, shows that it is independent of the former.
(It claims "Copyright, 1908, by E. Nesbit-Bland.")
- They were published as books by different publishers, T. Fisher Unwin and Hodder & Stoughton respectively.
- Harding's Luck is a "sequel to The House of Arden" in which "the reader is left at the close in some doubt as to whether Dickie [Harding] is really Lord of Arden or the poor boy of Deptford."
--The Scotsman 1909-12-02 p3 "Juvenile and Christmas Books".
- "The Fabian Time Fantasies sequence – so named because Nesbit's consistent Fabian socialism is central to the version of British history presented here, and comprising The House of Arden: A Story for Children (1908 Strand; 1908) and Harding's Luck (1909) – carries its cast by Timeslip into various eras, where treasures are found and (wholesomely) unfound, and the Arden family, which turns out to be numerous, is saved. The child protagonists, seeming orphaned by the kidnapping of their parents by pirates, clearly prefigure Joan Aiken's similar orphans in her Wolves Chronicles sequence and elsewhere."
-- SFE3, biographical entry by John Clute
- "Her personal favourites were the two interlinked time fantasies (complete with Fabian socialist lessons) The House of Arden (1908) and Harding's Luck (1909)."
-- SFE: Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997), biog. entry by Lisa Tuttle
