The Girl Scouts of the Round Table

The Girl Scouts #3

by Margaret Vandercook

The sleepy little town of Westhaven, Connecticut holds plenty of surprises for chums Tory Drew, Memory Frean, and Katherine Moore, who are members of the same Girl Scout Patrol of the Eagle's Wing Troop. Originally published in 1921, The Girl Scouts of the Round Table brings them Arthurian-themed adventure, as they embrace Tennyson's classic poem, "Idylls of the King."

I have been reading a lot of boy scout books from this era, so I decided to take a crack at a girl scout book. It was OK; not as adventure-oriented, but focused on the relationships between the girls.
