In the third novel of this charming children's series, the Melendy family take the plunge into country life, moving from NYC into a most unusual home.
The Melendy family have just moved into an odd-looking house with a confused architectural history—what you might call a Four-Story Mistake. The four children, their father, and their housekeeper are all disappointed to leave their old brownstone in New York City.
They're also apprehensive about living the country life. But the Melendy kids soon discover the many hidden attractions of the Four-Story Mistake. And with their accustomed resourcefulness, they find themselves getting absorbed in new kinds of adventures . . .

      Welcome Back! Old favorites are being reissued in force this fall. Elizabeth Enright's Melendy Quartet follows siblings Mona, Rush, Miranda (Randy, for short) and Oliver. First published in 1941, The Saturdays kicks off the series and centers on the foursome's Independent Saturday Afternoon Adventure Club (I.S.A.A.C.), an allowance-endowed venture formed so one lucky Melendy can enjoy a solo sojourn each week. In The Four-Story Mistake (1942) the family moves from their city brownstone to the country; Then There Were Five (1944) describes what happens when the siblings befriend an orphan; and in Spiderweb forTwo: A Melendy Maze (1951), when everyone else leaves for school, Randy and Oliver are left to solve a mystery. The author's charming pen-and-inks punctuate all four volumes.
