Reprint. The background for this historical mystery for childen is the town of Bordentown, New Jersey where the exiled King of Spain, Joseph Bonaparte, and his nephew Prince Lurien Murat lived: the Prince's extravagance was so great that his wife was compelled to turn their home into a girls' boarding school - and this mystery is set years later at the same boarding school. Illustrated by Manning deV. Lee. 234 pp. Very good- in a fair dustjacket - book is clean and tight except for a gift inscription (lined out) and several old inked prices on the front endpaper. The dj has several closed tears, is missing a triangular piece at the bottom of the back cover, but the front illustration is intact. .
