- Margaret Hastings and Michael Tooley list 1,000 articles in their bibliography – the
most complete published Jekyll bibliography. However, Sally Festing states that she
wrote more than two thousand, though she provides no references to the articles. Arti-
cles not cited by Hastings and Tooley do exist, however. I therefore note Jekyll’s output as
more than a thousand articles. M. Hastings and M. Tooley, ‘Bibliography’, in M. Tooley
