STONE, GENE. Cousin Nancy and the Lees of Clifford. il *$1.75 Crowell
20–15505
The Lees are a jolly western family living in a mountain valley in Nevada. Nancy is a cousin from New York who comes to spend a year with them. Nancy has been used to every luxury and there are many things about her cousins’ way of life that surprise her. She is not used, for one thing, to being introduced to delivery boys and she doesn’t see Ralph Mariner’s outstretched hand. But Nancy is a “real girl” after all. She easily adapts herself and enjoys the hearty fun and the impromptu good times her cousins offer her, and comes to appreciate Ralph’s worth, at the same time that he comes to see that she isn’t a snob. Nancy changes her mind about finishing schools too and decides to go to college and a great discovery, made on one of their expeditions, makes it possible for the others to go too.
