DANA GIRLS BY THE LIGHT OF THE STUDY LAMP by Carolyn Keene

THE DANA GIRLS MYSTERY STORIES By Carolyn Keene

The first volume in this Stratemeyer Syndicate series was issued by Grosset & Dunlap in 1934. Hardy Boys ghostwriter Leslie McFarlane is credited with volumes #1-4 and Nancy Drew ghostwriter Mildred Wirt claims credit for volumes #5-16. The Dana Girls was the series that would not die. In 1944, following the release of volume # 13, the series went into hiatus. In 1952 it was resurrected in the Wrap Around Illustrated dust jacket format. In 1963, the beige spine pictorial cover editions were introduced and five years later, after the release of volume # 30, the series was killed again. In 1972 the Danas were reincarnated in a short-lived 17 volume white spine picture cover set that limped along until 1979. They have not been heard from since.

JUDGE A BOOK BY THE COVER! Whenever you see the highlighted word "View", following a book listing, you can click on it to see an picture of the front cover of that particular title.

Note: The number listed in parentheses after the condition indicates the number of series titles listed on the front flap of the dust jacket or the rear cover of the picture cover editions. For example, a copy of By the Light of the Study Lamp which lists to volume #18 is an earlier printing than a similar copy that lists to volume #25.
