Ahhh..to be a tween again. Some times you need to just breath and this is a way to step back and be young. I was thrilled to find this original 1967 hardcover and loved that it included the traditional art work that goes with the times. A great little story. 🙂
This is the last of the Meg books. Meg and Kerry go with Uncle Hal to Williamsburg. Uncle Hal has some secret museum problem he's working on, but Meg tries to solve the mystery of two clothespin dolls lost years ago. An elderly lady's father had said the lost dolls were valuable; how could these two dolls made of clothespins be so important?
The fifth of the Meg books, and the first of two where Meg and Kerry go on vacation with Uncle Hal. Uncle Hal goes up to his cabin in Maine to help a young teacher who is getting threatening notes. Are people using black magic? Meg won't be scared away from finding out the truth.

In this last book of the series, Meg and Kerry travel with Hal Ashley to Williamsburg. As soon as the girls arrive, they eagerly sign on to become junior hostesses for a Colonial Era toy exhibition. The curator of the exhibit was actually the childhood best friend of Meg's mother and is absolutely delighted to have both girls involved in her showcase.
In between carrying out their duties for the toy exhibition, Meg and Kerry also stumble upon a mystery that involves the disappearance of two wooden dolls from one of the toy collections being showcased in the exhibit. The collection belongs to the matriarch of the town, and a member of one of the most prominent families in Williamsburg - the Collins family. The elderly Mariah Collins is extremely proud of her collection and is thrilled to donate it to the exhibition.
However, she is also worried that someone is out to steal two of the most precious items in her collection - Charity and Mercy; also known as the 'George Washington Dolls.' Miss Mariah soon enlists Meg and Kerry's help in protecting the rest of her collection. She also wants to know if the amateur detectives can solve the mystery behind why her most favorite doll - an antique French doll named Paris - hasn't been able to talk since Miss Mariah was a child.
I must say that I really enjoyed reading this book. I was slightly surprised at how intricate the mystery actually was given the reading level. In my opinion, while the story was somewhat dated, I would still give it an A! I'm definitely going to be keeping this book on my childhood favorites shelf.… (mehr)
