#hardcover#vintage#oldbooks#childrens#1950s#firstedition The Secret of Crossbone Hill by: Wilson Gage Childrens Book 1959 First Edition David and Kathy Vance knew there was something queer about Crossbone Hill the moment they saw it looming above the swamp behind the South Carolina beach cottage where they were vacation-ing. So when Kathy discovered a crude map hidden in a bird's nest, and they were both warned by a mysterious stranger to keep out of the swamp, they were certain they were on the track of real treasure. They were right, too-but it wasn't the kind of treasure their vivid imaginations soon led them to expect. And young readers who follow their often humorous and sometimes frightening adventures will be equally surprised. Wilson Gages own knowledge and love of the bird and natural life of the South Carolina lowlands lends a special color to this swiftly paced mystery story. And young readers will be pleased to find that the book is overflowing with the same zestful humor which delighted them in Miss Gage's first book, Secret of the Indian Mound. Mary Stevens' lively drawings catch the mood perfectly and bring an additional authenticity to the characters and the unusual setting.
