The Don Sturdy series sends its young hero to every remote corner of the globe. Fifteen books published between 1925 and 1935 take Don from the Desert of Mystery to the North Pole, from gorilla territory to the ocean bottom, from head hunter territory to glacier bays. Each title promises a new exotic location and the dangers that come with it.
The series is classic Stratemeyer Syndicate adventure fiction — fast-paced, globe-trotting stories aimed at young readers who wanted excitement with their geography lessons.
