CHERRY AMES
NURSING STORIES
By Helen Wells & Julie Tatham
This popular nurse series was published by Grosset &
Dunlap from 1943 through 1968 and consists of 27 titles
and a companion volume entitled Cherry Ames' Book
of First Aid and Home Nursing. Helen Wells (1910-1986) wrote volumes #1-8 and 17-27. Julie Campbell Tatham (1908-1999)
wrote volumes #9-16. Volumes # 1-22 were originally issued in dust jackets. Early pictorial cover editions had yellow
spines but the format was quickly changed to green spines,
perhaps to avoid confusion with the Nancy Drew yellow spine editions. All 27 Cherry Ames titles were available in green pictorial cover editions. In 1972, Tempo Books retitled and reissued four titles in an oversized paperback edition. In 1978, the four paperbacks were reissued in a smaller format.
JUDGE A BOOK BY THE COVER! Whenever you see the highlighted word "View", following a book listing, you can click on it to see an picture of the dust jacket or front cover of that particular title. Whenever you see the the highlighted "View Stock Photo", click on it to see a typical example of the cover or the binding format for those editions
Note: The number listed in parentheses after the condition indicates the number of series titles listed on the front flap of the dust jacket or the rear cover of the picture cover editions. For example, a copy of Cherry Ames, Student Nurse which lists to volume #12 is an earlier printing than a similar copy that lists to volume #19.
