Overview
The name of the doll is Lady Vanderbilt and she is very beautiful. Her gown is of lavender taffeta, and around her neck she wears a pearl. When Ginnie and Geneva heard about Lady Vanderbilt, they longed to see her, but the doll had disappeared thirty years ago and no one knew where she was. Then, suddenly, she appears at a church auction, and for a tantalizing moment the girls think she will be theirs. But a twist of fate takes her away once more and it will take all of Ginnie's determination to find her and solve her mystery!
Author Bio
Catherine Woolley worked as an editor and public relations writer in New York following her college years, then returning to her parents' home in Passaic in the 1930s. A prolific writer of over eighty books, Ms. Woolley published so many children's books that her publisher recommended using a pen name for some of her works. She chose the name Jane Thayer - her grandmother's name - which she used for the many picture books she wrote. In the early 1960s, Ms. Woolley moved to Truro, Massachusetts. Ms. Woolley was an easily recognized figure at writing and book events in Truro. She helped start a book club, worked with the Friends of the Truro Library, taught at writing workshops, and held story hours at the library. As a tribute to this author, the children's room in the Truro library is named after Catherine Woolley.
