The stories are all credited to Sylvia Edwards and read very much like the books in the series.
Six short stories featuring Sally Baxter were published in the Cherry Ames Girls Annuals published by World Distributors from 1958 to 1964. It appears that the books all went through the same number of print runs and that multiple titles were issued simultaneously. Additionally, while characters smoke cigarettes in many of the books, Sally is not mentioned as smoking herself until the later books.Īll of the books in this series seem to be about equally easy or difficult to obtain, meaning that it is generally no harder to acquire the later titles as it is the earlier titles. I suspect that more than one person is author of the Sally Baxter books, because I detect a difference in tone in the last several books.
The series is written under the name Sylvia Edwards, and it is not known whether Edwards is a pseudonym. It is also mentioned that Sally has been a reporter for two years, which would mean that she is a little less than 15 1/2 during the first book. As a result, Sally must be a little less than 17 1/2. In Festival Holiday, we learn that Sally is 18 months younger than her friend Grace and that Grace is nearly 19. Just like with many series, Sally's age is never mentioned, only that she is a teenager. She is able to bring happiness to many people while at the same time acquiring great stories for her newspaper. Sally believes very strongly in keeping her promises and treats the subjects of her stories with great respect. Sally is a very human girl who makes mistakes and experiences anxiety but is also very capable of handling the most difficult of situations. During the 1970s, the first three titles were reissued in the picture cover format. The books are green and white and come with dust jackets. The Sally Baxter Girl Reporter Series was published in the United Kingdom by World Distributors during the 1960s.
