Alice B. Emerson was a pseudonym used by the Stratemeyer Syndicate for the Betty Gordon and Ruth Fielding series of children's novels. The writers taking up the pen of Alice B. Emerson were: Josephine Lawrence (Betty Gorson series #1-4, 7, 9), W. Bert Foster (Ruth Fielding series #1-19, Betty Gordon series #5,6), Elizabeth M. Duffield Ward (Ruth Fielding series #20-22, Betty Gordon series #8), Eunice W. Creager (Betty Gordon series #10-15) and Mildred Benson (Ruth Fielding series #23-30).
eponymous-ey sentence: p10: "...If May Cox thinks that I am opposed to your having her at Lighthouse Point, I shall be offended if you do not immediately insist upon her being one of the party."
That ending caught me unaware, somehow.
It's so nice to know that there was no shortage of books to read even at the onset of the 20th century.
I initially skipped a couple of books of this series because I couldn't find them. Then I realized I didn't look hard enough.
