Good book -- but punctuation is off

I love E. Nesbit, and, like her other work, this story takes a common fairy-tale theme (that of a magic ring), and gives it a fresh twist. On the whole, Daily Lit seems to split portions well. However, I think something went wrong with the punctuation when the book was digitized. My guess is that dashes, and possibly semicolons, came out funny in OCR, and someone just went through and removed them. There are lots of places where punctuation is clearly missing, and a dash would do the trick. It's frustrating to read that way, and I'm hoping I won't see the same flaw in too many titles on the site.
