Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Reprint. SUSAN PULLS THE STRINGS Jane Shaw. The Children's Press, London No Date (1958) 188pp Hardback This copy has some age toning to the page edges but is otherwise unmarked tight and square. The unclipped dust wrapper has an area of about 15% missing from the back…panel and some rubs and edge wear so best described as good overall. When you have three interesting cousins like the Carmichaels to stay with it is no wonder that you don't mind that your mother and father are off to Africa to build a bridge. Beautiful Charlotte, dreamy Midge and down-to-earth (but adventurous) Bill live in London, and Susan from Glasgow puts aside any feelings of homesickness when she gets rapidly drawn into their life in England's capital city. Besides it's Christmas and who could feel unhappy or get into trouble at Christmas ? We don't know Susan very well yet or we wouldn't ask such a silly question. "You won't rescue anyone, will you ?" asks Susan's mother anxiously. The author comments that she was "fortunately unable to see into the future". This means she doesn't have to worry about Susan pushing her aunt Lucy into a pond to help Charlotte to become a nurse, or following her cat Chang into an empty house next door, or see how she attempts to raise money for Bill's train set. The fact that it is Susan herself who needs rescuing in the end soon becomes no surprise to the reader. But why should she have problems with a plum and how do the stolen watches come into it ? Watch Jane Shaw weave her magic in this first in the series and you will come back for more. Ref W3.
