Polly Pigtails #27
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue features multiple stories for girls: "Josie Goes Globe Trotting," in which Josie Farrell wins a contest and becomes excited about traveling around the world, though her grandmother's illness and a fortune-teller's card complicate her plans; "Tizzie Runs a Circus," in which the character operates a circus; and "The Secret of Hidden Hollow," a mystery story by Marjorie Maxwell set in the North Carolina Hills, where Kay and Charles Henderson discover a cave secret while on vacation with a mountain girl named Happy. The issue also includes sections on fashions, movies, hair styles, and Pigtail Club news.
When a real circus rolls into town, Tizzie and her friends decide to stage their own backyard version after being denied permission to skip school—complete with homemade costumes, a "tattooed lady," and improvised animal acts. But when Tizzie's clever scheme to get everyone out of classes backfires in an unexpected way, her bright idea falls apart faster than she can say "ringmaster." A classic tale of childhood ambition meeting real-world consequences, with all the slapstick charm you'd expect from a 1948 humor comic.
When one of the Pigtail Club members announces she can't go to summer camp because of her mother's illness, the girls face the prospect of being separated for the first time—but a chance conversation sparks an idea that could keep them together while helping their community. The club decides to start a summer day camp for kids who can't afford to go away, with each member using her own talents to pitch in, and they head to City Hall to make it happen.
