Mystery on the Beach A Petticoat Detective Squad Adventure

Mystery on the Beach

The second in this series is a variation on that theme and viewed from a different perspective. Our little tale once again concerns eleven year old Tony, who is continuing a holiday with his older girl cousin and favorite aunt. The children go to spend a week at a large modern house along the beach when our hero's cousin is given a holiday job by the lady owner. Unfortunately for Tony, he had previously upset the lady so the only way he can accompany his cousin is to go in disguise, as a girl....

Hi Patricia, Your stories

Hi Patricia,
Your stories are really fun and lovely to read. I just wish Toni would "lighten up" as he does enjoy being in his feminine side. If his cousin would be loving to her rather than trying to get Toni into uncomfortable situations, she would probably discover that she could easily get Toni, the girl, all the time. Hugs, J-Lynn

Hi Janice; Patricia did not write this story and that is why...

...just re-posting a story from another author is not enough. Many readers take the "submitter" as the one who wrote the story.

Those posting stories by others owe the original author more than just re-posting the story. Living or dead they deserve to have the full credit and acknowledgement for their creations.

I am not blasting anyone for this oversight, but I sure would like it fixed. It is easy to do here at the Big Closet Top Shelf, just hit the edit button and add a clarification!

Hi,

I have no control over the content of these stories. They were written by Andrea. Andrea past away several years ago and these stories are archived on my site by permission of the illustrator, who is the surviving copyright holder. These stories are what they are. I have preserved them as classics.

Enid Blyton wrote about crossdressing as well!

Another excellent read!

These stories remind me so much of Enid Blyton books, and the pleasure I gained from reading those as a child. Of course, we mustn't forget that she included F2M crossdressing in the form of George(ina)in the Famous Five. If only she had given that role to Dick instead of Georgina, maybe the whole world might today have a very different attitude.

Which perhaps is a cue for a professional children's author to give a very subtle introduction to the subject in their next novel. Possibly something like one of these stories, but without even a hint of what happens inside the panties, as there is here.

Blyton did have a crossdressing boy…

Look at “The Circus of Adventure” where a boy has to dress as a girl to escape villains whom were tyrying to take over his father's country. I shall have to have another look at the book as it is a long time since I read it.

Hugs,

Gabi

Two wonderful stories...

...which take me right back to my childhood, and the enjoyment I had with the Famous Five.

I don't normally read children's stories but these were well worth making an exception for. They were as innocent as children can be about a subject which gives many adults so many unnecessary hang ups.

Such a shame that Andrea is no longer with us.

I think that you should add

I think that you should add a more clear declaration that these stories had been written by Andrea that has passed away. More so than just as a reply to someone else's comment.

Give the readers of these stories some background and also who the still living and writing illustrator is. Have you included the illustrations? I confess to not reading this reprint so I have no way of knowing if it is a clear and full reprint of the original. (Complete with the illustrations.)

I do know I enjoyed Andrea's writings years ago as well as corresponded with the illustrator several times about his stories.

Just putting her name as the author is not enough in this case.

Dedicated to Andrea

I guess I should have included my dedication page with the story's teaser. It reads:

Welcome

to the

Petticoat Detective Squad Adventures

This page is dedicated to Andrea, an author with an uncommon talent. She has penned a series of children's adventure stories in the style of Nancy Drew or The Famous Five, all revolving around a similar theme. In those stories, that theme was usually about the child, or children, confronting adversity and triumphing in the end... and so it is with The Petticoat Detective Squad.

Alas, these are all there are in the series, and there can be no more. Andrea was taken from among us. We will miss her great talent and her gentle spirit as exhibited in these elegant tales of naiveté and wonder.

These stories are posted with permission. All stories © 1998 - 1999 Daphne, all rights reserved. Please contact David2Daphne@yahoo.com if you would like to know more about Andrea, or the Petticoat Detective Squad. These stories are presented just as they first appeared on "Daphne's Secret Garden." I have not changed anything except some minor HTML coding in order to get each story onto a single page.

These stories are written to depict a young boy's first innocent encounters with cross-dressing and his subsequent feelings. If the reader is seeking descriptions of explicit or adult sex then they will be disappointed because this sort of thing is not included here.

Return with me to the age of innocence and as a child, thrill in the mystery and adventure, as Andrea's stories come to life on these pages.
