Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition (D-X). (pictorial cover; no dust jacket) [solid copy, light wear to extremities, two tiny rips in cloth at top of spine, ownership signature (see note) and additional gift signature on ffep]. (frontispiece + 3 illus. plates) Fourth book (of five) in the "Catty Atkins" series, an early juvenile fiction series (published between 1920 and 1924) by this popular author who once referred to himself as "the best second-rate writer in America." The Atkins books actually filled a sort of interregnum in the middle of his other series, the "Mark Tidd" adventures, which comprised six books which published from 1913 through 1918, followed by three more in the late 1920s. Catty and his best buddy Wee-wee Moore (who narrates the tales) are small-town go-getters, somewhat in the mischievous-American-boy mold of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, although I'd be hard-pressed to tell you which was which (and it's probably not a perfect analogy anyway). Very popular in their day, the Catty Atkins (and Mark Tidd) stories, like their creator, are pretty much forgotten today. [NOTE that the ownership signature in the book is that of an Edward Sedgwick, and that the added gift inscription (in a childish hand) reads "Edward Sedgwick / From / Roy & Kay / Dec. 25, 1927." The only thing that makes me hesitate in linking these inscriptions to the well-known film director Edward Sedgwick (who among many other films directed virtually all of Buster Keaton's MGM features) is that the first signature includes two middle initials -- which look like "V.V." -- and Sedgwick was not known to use any middle initials at all.].

Whaite was first cousin twice removed of his more famous namesake. He was himself an excellent artist and teacher, and there is a large collection of his work at the Whitworth Gallery in Manchester.

Clarke ; Bound in orange cloth; front cover stamped in black; colored lining papers ; no dustjacket ; Mark Tidd and his three friends successfully run a general merchandise store when the owner must spend time in the hospital, in spite of unfair competition from the villain of the story. ; Mark Tidd in business focuses on the drive for self-reliance and the ingenuity sparked by unexpected responsibility. In a small town shaped by routine and tradition, a group of young individuals are suddenly propelled into leadership when a family business is left in their care. This transition marks more than a shift in duties; it becomes a test of character and resourcefulness. With economic uncertainty and rising competition pressing down, the decision to step into adult roles reveals their capacity to adapt and persevere. Their efforts evolve from tentative experiments to confident strategies, illustrating how creativity can thrive under pressure. Through collaboration and invention, they reimagine the possibilities of enterprise and community influence. While external challenges manifest in the form of a cunning rival, the greater task lies in sustaining belief in their own ability. Their evolving tactics, including interactive engagement with customers, reflect a broader commentary on innovation as a response to adversity. The store becomes a stage for growth, where mistakes and victories contribute equally to personal development and the forging of trust. ; "Bud" Kelland was an American writer.
