All 3 books in one of the more obscure series of children's books written 1915-1917 for girls by this mystery author/librarian in the early 20th-century. The titular "two little women" are "Dolly" & "Dotty," (Dorinda Fayre & Dorothy Rose), young ladies who are just starting high school when the series begins. From rather well-to-do families, their father builds them a "treasure house" in Book #2 " where they can make fudge for their parties." In Book #3, they go to New York to stay with the wealthy uncle of some friends, where "unusual parties & adventures keep them very excited and happy." First published by Dodd, Mead, these are the Grosset & Dunlap reprints, with slightly more "modern" DJ cover art (by Earl. cannot make out last names) on Books 1 & 3 showing the girls with shorter skirts & bobbed hair styles; Book 2 has the first DJ cover art by original artist E. C. Caswell, who illustrated the frontispieces on all 3 books. Page counts range from 269-305 pages + varying numbers of pages in rear advertising other children's series. All 3 books are hardcover 12mos with blue cloth-covered boards stamped in darker blue lettering to front & spine. Books 1 & 3 are VG+, Book 2 is only Good, with bleaching to entire exterior. Interiors are all very clean & completely unmarked , with mild page tanning, heavier to edges. The unclipped DJs are VG- (#2), VG+ (#3), & Near Fine (#1), with more or less chipping, light soil & edgewear; all are nicely protected in nonreflective mylar covers. A lovely collection, scarce in such nice condition! Our photos depict the exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same day shipping on all orders received by 2 pm Weekdays (Pacific time); later orders, Weekends, & holidays ship very next business day. SPECIAL: order 2 or more titles from this author & take 20% of, + only $1.00 shipping for each additional book.…
