Ted and Tony: Two Girls of Today

A lovely copy, complete with original DJ, of Book #2 of only two in this series designed for girls in the early 20th century, each featuring heroines with different abilities & inclinations, most involved in solving mysteries (like their counterpart who would come around in the 1930s, Nancy Drew). Ms Garis was a writer in the same Stratemeyer Syndicate that produced the Drew books, but she insisted on writing under her own name. Written in the era of the flapper, this story features female friends Ted Layton & Tony Potter, who "wish to bring back into the lives of those they love a romance which makes an interesting story.& like girls of today, believe that life should be filled with happiness."
