Jamie:

1)  The text of the story is indeed public domain.  There are books,
such as an illustrated version put out by Harper Collins, that do,
however, have a copyright.  So much depends on what you've got.

2)  I don't know if you're aware of this or not, but the e-text of
this book is actually available online.  I'm not trying to thwart your
efforts, I just question in my own mind whether that constitutes a
duplication of effort.

Thanks for your contributions, & congrats on your cpht.
