Then There Were Five (Melendy Quartet)
Welcome Back! Old favorites are being reissued in force this fall. Elizabeth  Enright's Melendy Quartet follows siblings Mona, Rush, Miranda  (Randy, for short) and Oliver. First published in 1941, The  Saturdays kicks off the series and centers on the foursome's  Independent Saturday Afternoon Adventure Club (I.S.A.A.C.), an  allowance-endowed venture formed so one lucky Melendy can enjoy  a solo sojourn each week. In The Four-Story Mistake (1942) the  family moves from their city brownstone to the country; Then  There Were Five (1944) describes what happens when the siblings  befriend an orphan; and in Spiderweb forTwo: A Melendy Maze  (1951), when everyone else leaves for school, Randy and Oliver  are left to solve a mystery. The author's charming pen-and-inks  punctuate all four volumes. (Sept.)Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
