Jerry Todd and the Whispering Mummy
Author: Leo Edwards
Publisher: Wildside Press LLC
ISBN: 1479469858
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
When I had this story all wrote down on paper, I gave it to Scoop Ellery and said: “You take it home and read it and see if I’ve left out anything.” Scoop, who is my pal and shared in the adventure, read the story and said: “No, Jerry, I don’t think you’ve left out a thing. I like the way you tell the story, too. That part where the mummy whispers is spooky and shivery; and there’s a lot of fun and oodles of mystery. Yes,” he added, wanting to hand me a little praise for the work I had done, “it’s a pretty slick story, and I bet you that boys who like to get hold of a good book will eat it up.” Edward Edson Lee (1884–1944), who wrote under the pen name of Leo Edwards, was a popular children's literature author in the 1920s and 1930s. He wrote five series of books: the Jerry Todd series of sixteen books; the Poppy Ott series of eleven books; the Trigger Berg series of four books; the Andy Blake series of four books; and the Tuffy Bean series of four books. All of the series were interrelated in some way; the Todd and Ott stories took place in the town of Tutter, Illinois, a fictional town modeled on the town of Utica, which Lee experienced in his childhood. The supporting characters in the Todd and Ott books — "Red" Meyers, "Scoop" Ellery, and "Peg" Shaw — were real boys that Lee befriended around the time he began writing the stories while living in Shelby, Ohio.

Book Description
Excerpt from Jerry Todd, Editor-in-Grief Red's parents had earlier started east in a new automobile to see the Bunker Hill monu ment and other historic sights, leaving the family nest egg (or should I call him a turkey egg?) to the tender mercies of Mrs. Pansy Biggle, an aunt, who runs a beauty parlor on School Street, as mentioned in some of my earlier books. And when I further explain that it was Aunt Pansy, a great social worker, who mixed up the pink lemonade the night of the big reception, you can readily understand how Red and Rory happened to get such an easy crack at it - meaning the lemonade, of course, and not the elaborate reception itself.
