THE GHOST PARADE: Judy Bolton #5.

Edition: Early hardcover edition.

New York: Grosset & Dunlap, (ca 1942, c. 1933.) dj. Hardcover - The fifth title in this mystery series, which is in many ways, more realistic than most such series. Judy starts out as a high school girl, has some of the usual problems all kids encounter including misunderstandings among friends, etc, is a little older and more mature in each book. Although I didn't know any of the history of the series at the time I was reading them, the "mysteries" are mostly based on actual events, the town is the town where Sutton grew up and unlike most of the other series books published by Grosset and Dunlap, this was not part of the Stratemeyer Syndicate. Margaret Sutton was a real woman, writing under her own name. Because of the opposition of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, this series did not have the extensive reprinting that the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys had. Glossy frontispiece. Notation on title page that this was printed under wartime conditions. 217 pp.

Condition: Very good in dark green covers with pink staircase endpapers in a very good minus dust jacket with some loss to the top of the dj spine. Usual toning to the inexpensive wartime paper, previous owner's name, binding over-opened before title page. .
