I remember that story from this compilation — obviously smoking golliwogs still passed the censors as late as 1971... (I see the book was reprinted in 1982 and '86, but we're not told whether any of the individual stories were changed by then.)

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)
I remember that story as a child...or thought I did - but I didn't have either of those books as a child, so maybe it was a similar story! I do have both those books now though!
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'
