Cherry Ames, Student Nurse
by Wells, Helen
Cherry Ames, Student Nurse is the first of a series of twenty-seven mystery novels published by Grosset & Dunlap between 1943 and 1968. Helen Wells, who also developed the popular Vicki Barr series, wrote the first seven volumes, as well as volumes 17-27. Julie Campbell Tatham, the creator of Trixie Belden, wrote volumes 8-16.The series encouraged young girls to become nurses during WWII, especially reflected in such titles as Cherry Ames, Army Nurse (1944), Cherry Ames, Flight Nurse (1945) and Cherry Ames, Veterans' Nurse (1946).
The series inspired a few spinoffs, and even a Parker Brothers board game.
First edition identification
The first edition of Cherry Ames, Student Nurse was published in 1943. Because of wartime rations, paper and binding are lower grade so fine items with dust jacket are rare, and value around $150.
