The Chicago Tribune, July 31, 1886. Robert Louis Stevenson's "Kidnapped" starts off with a sale of 10,000 copies in ten days after its publication, or at the rate of one thousand per day. His "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" was published twenty-two weeks ago, and 22,000 copies have been sold--a thousand a week."

Chicken Little is for sale, along with many other still-familiar titles, in the Newbern Spectator of New Bern, North Carolina, on February 19, 1842. Yay! Proof that "Chicken Little" was plenty familiar by my story, set in 1887.
