Grosset & Dunlap.  Copyright 1945. Print run 1959C-31.  Original 25-chapter text. It is valued in the most recent Farah's Guide at a $36.00 value when both book and jacket are in "very good" condition.

#22 in the series.  Author was Mildred A. Wirt Benson writing under the Stratemeyer Syndicate house pseudonym "Carolyn Keene."

Very good book with some spine sunning (see second picture).  Prior owner name/addresses in ink on frontispiece reverse. Beyond that, no other writing or marking. Good hinges. Discolored page block (see third picture).  Lovely collectible blue/white multipictorial endpapers.

Good dust jacket with front fold wear and rip, some chipping here and there, the largest chip being at the bottom of the rear and spine.  There's what looks like some tape residue at the top corner of the dust jacket rear. Front flap lists to Nancy Drew Pavilion, rear flap lists to Vicki Barr Gold Coin, and the jacket rear lists to Dana Girls Haunted Lagoon.

Now protected in removable mylar covering.
