Produktbeschreibung
Ta-ra! ta-ra! ta-ra-ra-ra! ta-rat! Professor Krenner took the silver bugle from his lips while the strain echoed flatly from the opposite, wooded hill. That hill was the Isle of Hope, a small island of a single eminence lying half a mile off the mainland, and not far north of Freeling. The shore of Lake Huron was sheathed in ice. It was almost Christmas time. Winter had for some weeks held this part of Michigan in an iron grip. The girls of Lakeview Hall were tasting all the joys of winter sports. The cove at the boathouse (this was the building that some of the Lakeview Hall girls had once believed haunted) was now a smooth, well-scraped skating pond. Between the foot of the hill, on the brow of which the professor stood, and the Isle of Hope, the strait was likewise solidly frozen. The bobsled course was down the hill and across the icy track to the shore of the island.
Autorenporträt
Annie Roe Carr was an American author known for her engaging juvenile fiction, particularly the Nan Sherwood series. She was born to parents whose names are not widely documented, and little is known about her early life, but she developed a talent for writing stories that captured the imagination of young readers. Married to a man whose details also remain scarce, Carr crafted novels that blended adventure, mystery, and lessons about friendship and resilience. Her most famous works include Nan Sherwood at Rose Ranch, Nan Sherwood at Palm Beach, and Nan Sherwood s Winter Holidays, each reflecting her ability to create vivid, relatable characters in exciting settings. The Nan Sherwood series followed its heroine through various adventures, from seeking hidden treasure to solving local mysteries, resonating with readers for its blend of suspense and moral growth. Carr s work was part of a broader tradition of early 20th-century American girls literature, emphasizing personal development and courage. She passed away in relative obscurity, and though many details of her personal life, including the names of close family members, remain undocumented, her literary contributions continue to be remembered by enthusiasts of vintage children s fiction.
