Hardbound 8vo (8.5 inches tall) 235 pages. Description: Illustrated in black and white by Kurt Wiese. A small group of people, locked in the snows of the North were suddenly caught in the grips of diphtheria and in desperate need of serum. When Mountie Jim Thorne and his dog Silver Chief arrived with the serum, the outpost was saved. In fact, the two seemed to have brought good fortune with them, as caribou arrived and then the foxes. But, then the skins of the fur trappers started to disappear and Silver Chief was blamed! So Jim started an investigation to clear his dog. An investigation that proved to be dangerous. Note: the only printed date is the 1937 copyright renewal; this series circa 1950s. BINDING/CONDITION: tan 'tweed' binding with running hound vignette on the front; owner's name on the front endpaper, otherwise in Very Good condition, with a Good dust jacket. ISBN: B07FT1ZTC3

Part of the Famous Dog Stories series for young people. Good condition, DJ poor but in library cover. Stated first, but is Grosset & Dunlap in America, copyright 1937 is John C. Winston Company, Great Britain. Assumed printing 1940s. Tan "tweed" boards with the Famous Dog Stories logo on the right bottom, indicative of early 1940s printing & binding, rather than the later 1945 binding that had a dog on the cover board. A really good copy, tight bending, pages have some yellow to them from age. A great addition to one of the 1930s-40s YA book series collectibles.
