Sobre este artículo
New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1923. Hardcover. Good Plus. In the first half of the 20th century, Garis, a former newspaper reporter, writing for the Stratemeyer Syndicate, produced literally hundreds of juvenile fiction novels under pen names such as Margaret Penrose and Laura Lee Hope as well as her own name. She also wrote several of the books early in the Bobsey Twins and Dorothy Dale series. Series under her name include The Let's Make Believe, and the Girl Scouts series. "Gloria at Boarding School" is one of two books featuring dark-haired Gloria Doane. This copy is a first edition and an early printing though probably not the first, based on comparing the copyright date with copyright dates in the ads in the back of the book. About 5 1/4 x 7 1/2 inches, 240 pages followed by 4 pages of publisher's ads bound in blue cloth-covered boards with red lettering on front cover and black lettering on spine. Small cameo drawing of "Gloria" centered on front cover. Sorry, no dustjacket. Boards show fair amount of wear along edges and at corners and spine ends; corners lightly bumped, color fading along edges but spine somewhat darkened, some light staining. Text edges foxed and previous owner's name and date in pencil on fep, o/w text is complete, including illustrations, clean and unmarked. Not ex-library, not remaindered. Makes a decent reading copy or an acceptable place holder.
