Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. Mildred Wirt Benson (1905-2002) wrote some 130 books for girls, including the esteemed early Ruth Darrows (aviatrix), the Penny Parkers, and of course the Nancy Drews (they were going to call her "Stella Strong") and Dana Girls for the Stratemeyer Syndicate under the pen name "Carolyn Keene." She didn't often fail, but for whatever reason, the character "Doris Force" was an orphan, and so turned out to be the brief, wandering, 1931 four-book "starter set" that bore that fictional orphan's name. Starting on quality paper with glossy internal plates at Henry Altemus & Co., the series was quickly taken over by M.A. Donahue, which continued quality production (as here), but finally sloughed the property off on Goldsmith, where it died without further issue on poor paper with no remaining internal illustrations. (The cheap Goldsmith incarnations are common, these Donohues are not.) Actually, Mildred Wirt wrote only the first two books -- this one included. Walter Karig wrote the third and fourth. We downgrade this copy from "very good" to "good" due to considerable bleaching to board edges from having once been damp, and we'll call the jacket "fair" with chunks missing from top of front panel and, of course, from top and bottom of spine. Jacket, frontispiece and three glossy internal B&W plates are by the immortal Thelma Gooch, while the endpapers are credited to one Arlen Chamberlin. 216 pp., reduced from $52.
