Jerry todd and the whispering mummy

Edward Edson Lee (1884-1944), who wrote under the pen name of Leo Edwards, was a popular children's author in the 1920s and 1930s. He wrote five series of books, including the Jerry Todd series which was wildly popular. The stories took place in the town which Lee experienced in his childhood and the characters were real boys that Lee befriended around the time he began writing the stories. In his autobiography,  Ronald Reagan wrote that he had a boyhood much like Jerry Todd. "When I was a kid, there was this series of juvenile adventure books featuring a character named Jerry Todd. They were something like the Hardy Boys but they had a lot of humor mixed in with the adventure".
