About This Book

Dorothy Dale spends the holidays at her relatives' country estate, awaiting the arrival of her spirited friend Tavia, and becomes embroiled in a sequence of light mysteries and seasonal adventures. Episodes combine teasing and shopping outings with thefts, supposed hauntings in woods and a castle, a puzzling magazine ghost, and a storm that leaves the party stranded, leading to a dramatic rescue. The young people investigate, untangle misunderstandings, and offer comfort to one another, culminating in reconciliations and a reassuring Christmas resolution that restores harmony to family and friends.
