Per AXE, this is binding variant IV with wartime paper, haunted house cover and endpapers and plain frontispiece. DJ is Variant A. See my photos to come. The Judy Bolton Mystery Series, written by Margaret Sutton, follows a realistic young woman who solves mysteries. Although the series was not quite as popular as Nancy Drew, Judy Bolton has been called a more complex and believable role model for girls. Judy was also unique in that halfway through the series, she married (something series book heroines rarely, if ever, did) The 38-volume series was written from 1932 and 1967 and is the longest-lasting juvenile mystery series written by an individual author. Handsome vintage wartime copy in DJ. LOC SSS-10.
