THE PENNY PARRISH SERIES
By Janet Lambert

Notes

Titles

Published by Dutton; reprinted by G&D.

Lambert wrote many series;  in a way, they could be considered all one large series, since the books tell the stories of the members of a large and complicated family-by-blood-and-marriage. Characters from one series pop up regularly in others... 

  • STAR SPANGLED SUMMER -- "Wealthy, but lonely, Carrol Houghton finds happiness with her own family" -- 1941, Dutton; 1941, Grosset and Dunlap; 1948, Comet Books (illustrated by Beth and Joe Krush.)

  • DREAMS OF GLORY -- "Carrol and Penny find West Point exciting... especially the Army-Notre Dame game, when Penny meets a famous actress" -- 1942, 1949, Dutton; 1942, Grosset and Dunlap

  • GLORY BE! -- "Both girls are grown up now, and a wartime tragedy brings changes to Carrol's and Penny's families. But one of them becomes a military bride." - "Penny Parrish, at eighteen, starts on the road to stardom." -- 1943, Dutton; 1943, 1963, Grosset & Dunlap

  • PRACTICALLY PERFECT -- "Penny faces the biggest decision of her life -- whether to continue her career on Broadway, or marry one of her handsome suitors." -- 1947, Dutton; 1947, Grosset & Dunlap

  • UP GOES THE CURTAIN -- 1946, `947, Dutton; 1946, 1961, Grosset & Dunlap.
