by Helen Wells
Hardback
Description
Cherry Ames is back, just as you remember her! The books are just as you remember them, retaining the same look, feel, and sense of adventure and patriotism as when they were first published.
With fully illustrated color covers and a soft-finished hardcover format just like the originals, these books will transport you back to the days when you were reading about this spunky young nurse.
Series editor and registered nurse Harriet Foreman was inspired by and remains a devoted fan of Cherry Ames: '...I was going to follow in her footsteps and become a nurse - nothing else would do'.
As a doctor's office nurse in New York City, Cherry Ames faces new challenges and makes some extraordinary new friends.
First in importance is her dynamo of an employer, Dr. William Fairall. Glamorous theatrical patients flock to his Victorian brownstone offices.
His assistant, young Dr. Grey Russell, plays a vital role in Cherry's eventful summer - and so do funny little elderly Dr. Lamb and the strangely moody medical secretary Irene Wick.
Among the interesting, colorful people Cherry meets are a stricken ballet dancer, her handsome actor husband, and their adorable baby, who move into the vacant top floor of the brownstone. And when her nurse friends, with whom she shares an apartment in Greenwich Village, inherit an old house near a beach in a charming summer resort area of eastern Long Island, Cherry foresees especially gay, carefree weekends.
But Cherry's expectations are soon shattered. Confronted by a mysterious, alarming series of events, the pretty nurse finds that she needs all of her detective skills when the clue of the dinosaur plunges her into the center of intrigue.
Springer Publishing Company is delighted to be bringing Helen Wells' beloved heroine back into print for a new generation of younger readers (as well as a host of nostalgic older ones).
The books are available as beautifully rendered facsimile hardcover editions and in boxed sets of four.
