Chicago, IL: Reilly & Lee Co., 1933. Book. Illus. by Clifford P. Benton. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 7 1/2 h x 5w. A very nice 316 page book with black and white drawings scattered throughout by Clifford P. Benton. Red boards with black picture is very nice. Dust jacket as seen in scan has some general wear but still looks nice. Has a gift inscription inside first blank page from Xmas 1933. From dust jacket flap: Just what might happen when Miss Minerva is confronted with a mystery in the form of a strange man is a matter for speculative chuckles. What does happen is an astonishing variety of events which occur before the mystery is made manifest, and provides continuous delight. .
