#8 in the series. Author is Margaret Sutton.  John Axe Format III.

Grosset and Dunlap. Copyright 1935. Print run 1943.

The dust jacket front flap lists to The Secret of the Barred Window (1943). The rear flap lists to Dana Girls The Portrait in the Sand (1943) and the rear of the jacket lists to Beverly Gray's Problem (1943). The dust jacket has a "P.C.J." designation at the top front flap and a "110-150" designation at the bottom of the flap. It is intact but does have minor surface abrasion, minor edgewear and small closed tears and small chips at edges.

Green boards.  Pink staircase endpapers. Dark blue top page block. Plain line frontispiece.  No writing/markings except for penciled numbers and price at the right top of the front free endpaper. Small store sticker attached to pasted-down rear endpaper. No tracking, no loose, ripped or missing pages, but they are yellowing wartime paper. Minor corner bumping.

Overall, an attractive vintage book illustrated by Pelagie Doane.
