Lassie And The Secret Of The Summer

Like all the Whitman Lassie books, the story is not at all well written. However, it's just wonderful to be able to read about Lassie in books, too! As in "Mystery at Blackberry Bog", Dorothea Snow (is that a pseudonym?) gives Jeff a much bigger circle of aquaintances than on the show, but Lassie's [many] adventures are just like the kinds on the TV episodes. All in all, this is a terrible buy if you're looking for a good peice of literature, and an essential one if you are a devoted Lasiie and/or dog lover.

Come here, girl!

One of those great Whitman books of the 50's, that reminds you how nice and tidy life was back then, and TV was the glue that held it all together! Book says authorized TV adventure, and illustration on title page is Lassie holding a 45 record in her mouth! Heavily illustrated, including endpapers, in that collectible retro look. This is a real delight. Great deal, recommended.

It's time for summer vacation, and Jeff's after money again--this time to buy himself a record player so he can listen to records by his favorite singer, Dan Dawson--but his money-making schemes come to an abrupt halt when Gramps severely injures his back, and then the pump to the well breaks down. To Gramps' horror, Ellen decides to takes in visitors who want to spend their vacation on the farm, and gives Jeff an opportunity to earn some money by helping with extra chores and entertaining the guests. Jeff views the vacationers as just so much more work, but to his surprise he makes some fast new friends.
