内容简介

From Publishers Weekly Welcome Back! Old favorites are being reissued in force this fall. Elizabeth Enright's Melendy Quartet follows siblings Mona， Rush， Miranda (Randy， for short) and Oliver. First published in 1941， The Saturdays kicks off the series and centers on the foursome's Independent Saturday Afternoon Adventure Club (I.S.A.A.C.)， an allowance-endowed venture formed so one lucky Melendy can enjoy a solo sojourn each week. In The Four-Story Mistake (1942) the family moves from their city brownstone to the country; Then There Were Five (1944) describes what happens when the siblings befriend an orphan; and in Spiderweb forTwo: A Melendy Maze (1951)， when everyone else leaves for school， Randy and Oliver are left to solve a mystery. The author's charming pen-and-inks punctuate all four volumes. (Sept.) Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information， Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. The New York Times Enright has a quick eye for the unexpected， the amusing and the beautiful in what might be just ordinary experiences. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
