The Melendys all live with their father, who is a writer, and Cuffy, their beloved housekeeper. Enright`s Melendy Quartet, which captures the lively adventures of a family as they move from the city to the country, is now available in new editions. Illustrations.
With Father in Washington and Cuffy, their housekeeper, away visiting a sick cousin, almost anything might happen to the Melendy kids left behind at the Four-Story Mistake. In the Melendy family, adventures are inevitable: Mr. Titus and the catfish; the villainy of the DeLacey brothers; Rush`s composition of Opus 3; Mona`s first rhubarb pie and all the canning; Randy`s arrowhead; the auction and fair for the Red Cross. But best of all is the friendship with Mark Herron, which begins with a scrap-collection mission and comes to a grand climax on Oliver`s birthday.
Here is Elizabeth Enright`s classic story of a long and glorious summer in the country with the resourceful, endearing Melendy bunch. "Then There Were Five" is the third installment of Enright`s Melendy Quartet, an engaging and warm series about the close-knit Melendy family and their surprising adventures.ISBN
