4-6Trixie Belden series.
Illustrated by
Mary Stevens.
Trixie fans will rejoice over these reissues of the first four titles in the long-out-of-print series, which use the original text and line drawings that place the books' action firmly in the late forties and early fifties. The plots are formulaic and the writing is workmanlike at best, but the books are endearingly goofy, and impulsive, good-hearted thirteen-year-old Trixie has an irresistible appeal. [Review covers these Trixie Belden titles: The Gatehouse Mystery, The Mysterious Visitor, The Red Trailer Mystery, and The Secret of the Mansion.]
