My friend remembers that the first book she read was called Tina And The Tall Man. She can’t remember anything else about it, and I’ve been unable to find that title on the internet. It might help to know that my friend is about 80 years old (born early 1940’s, I think, possibly late 1930’s) and was born and grew up in Newport News, Virginia (I think Newport News and her current location of Gloucester, Virginia are the only places she’s ever lived). For all I know, it might have been a regional publication. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
I found one book that fits the time period, but don’t know much about it: Tina Mina, by Dorothy Mayer.
‘Teeny and the Tall Man” by Julian Rutherford Meade, published 1936 by Doubleday.
There are a few copies listed on bookfinder.com
Teeny and the Tall Man, by Julian R. Meade.
As already reported by Gill and MamaSquirrel, probably ‘Teeny and the Tall Man’:
