The Queensgate mystery .....by Grace Pettman

This book was given to my mother in 1937 as a Christmas present from her grandma. I like the school uniforms these girls are wearing

Very nice! Great for the theme

[Cherrill]

Wonderful! I wonder how one 'saunters' on sand in those heels!! lol As you say, like the outfits and those shoes. I bet you've read a 100 times! Vintage colours too. :-)

[Judith Greenwood]

Joan and Janet should be falling over backwards unless that sand is very hard!! LOVELY illustrations from that era though - Helen's new book covers have more than a nod in that direction ....

[Pat Knowles]

Funny as soon as I saw this photo it reminded me of Helens new book covers !! They have that old fashioned & clean lines look. You could go out now wearing those clothes & people would think you in fashion!!

[Diana Horn]

[Constance Brinkley]

This is just marvelous! I would think it is tough to saunter in those heels. The artwork is so vintage. Great shot and thanks for sharing.

Oh, very cute!! I grew up with Trixie Belden and Nancy Drew, but this looks about the same(?)

[Henriette Sparkes]

I love the illustrations in these old books, fabulous shot.

[Helen Moss]

Nice picture - good idea for the theme - I think I might just saunter over to the bookshelf and copy your idea. Maybe Rupert could make an appearance tomorrow....

[lesley allen]

[artha ortiz]

Love the cover.

[Bill Dodsworth]

Wonderful, Diana. Looks just like the books I read as I grew up. Love the way their heels aren't sinking into the sand!

[Mcdougall]
