Explanation

[edit]

While the poems themselves were not in the public domain in Canada by 1996 (Helena Coleman died in 1953 so all her works she was the sole author of would've been PD by 2003) they are in the public domain in the US now (because their copyright has since expired). All poems within were from 1917 at latest which would be PD in the US since 1998.

As for the other copyrightable element of the work, the illustrations, J. E. H. MacDonald (the illustrator) died in 1932 which would have put all his works in the PD in Canada in 1982, which is before 1996.

Everything else, namely the explanation at the beginning and the ad at the end (if those weren't written by MacDonald or Coleman, they're not attributed to either), are too simple for copyright in their own right or even in combination (see Template:PD-text and/or Template:PD-simple).

Furthermore, this work is in the public domain both in the US and Canada currently.
