These were written 1934 to 1942 under the pseudonym Frances K. Judd by four women at the Stratemeyer Syndicate. Like Nancy, Kay was also a 16-year-old high school student who solved mysteries. the stories were revised & reprinted thru the 1980s. These are the originals. This one has 206 pages + unpaginated blank pages in rear, glossy frontispiece. Orig published in 1937, this is a slightly later printing of that FIRST EDITION (listing to self in front matter, to KT#6 on title page, & to #18 on front DJ flap). With tan cloth-over-boards stamped in red lettering to front & spine, this hardcover small 8vo is in Near Fine condition: from a single-owner collection, it is completely clean, binding strong & straight, hinges secure. As they were printed on wartime paper, the pages are heavily tanned & somewhat brittle, but completely unmarked. Very minor rubbing to extremities & corner bumping. The clipped DJ has a note "To Parents" on back flap extolling the virtues of this publisher's children's books, & a call to Buy War Bonds "so that we & our children may continue to enjoy the blessings of freedom [including the freedom to read, as] "books are a symbol of liberty." Condition is downgraded to Good- (minus) because it is missing the bottom 2" of spine, with smaller chips & a small area of sticker pull to upper-outer corner of front cover, but still bright & colorful; protected in nonreflective mylar cover by former owner.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Other than a name and a date, this is an unmarked copy-" At the foot of the stairway Kay peers cautiously into the dark living room. She can see nothing but she feels a presence in the room. Suddenly her arms are pinned to her sides. Something soft and feathery is thrust against her face, smothering her. The girl fights desperately. The robber must not escape with the money Kay has been guarding. In an instant she is released, the front door slams, and the intruder is gone! How is Kay to recover the treasure entrusted to her? Who really owns it? The ragged old man in whose clothes it had been found? Or pretty Juliana Van Camp, whose wedding depends largely on solving the baffling mystery? To add to Kay's difficulties, jealous Ethel Eaton tries her best to wreck both Juliana's happiness and Kay's reputation as a highly successful amateur detective. She nearly succeeds, but Kay and her friends, Betty and Wilma Worth, team up to solve a triple mystery in the shadow of a strange and forbidding windmill."-Minor soiling of text block.-No DJ.
