Good Morning!! I belong to a Trixie Belden facebook group. It facinates me that so many people still love Trixie. I remember getting my first Trixie book in grade school. It was the 5th book in the series Mystery Off Glen Road. Oh the adventures they had. I had learned to ride horses. Well, kind of and not well. But I did love it. My best friend, Cindy Higgs, had a horse and a pony. I got to scrape me off his saddle under a hanging branch one day. Anyway, I thought the adventures Trixie and Honey had were wonderful. Later I started collecting the books and gave them to my daughter to read. She loved them too. Somewhere during my many moves over the years the collection got lost. But I started making miniature versions of the books a few years ago. Now I have the first 14 books made in miniature in six scales. Let's start with the first book and go from there for the next weeks. Excuse the crazy typing my computer keyboard has gone nuts.
THE SECRET OF THE MANSION is a handcrafted, hardbound modified miniature reproduction of the first Trixie Belden mystery, The Secret Of The Mansion by Julie Campbell originally published in 1948. This volume contains the full text of Chapter 1 in 30 pages including 15 illustrations by Mary Stevens from throughout the rest of the book.
