The Dragon's Secret
The Dragon's Secret, published in 1921, is a mystery for young readers by Augusta Huiell Seaman. At the seashore, after a night of storm, two girls, Leslie and Phyllis, find a mysterious casket washed up on the beach, decorated with a dragon and impossible to open. Their efforts to solve its secret lead them to buried objects in the sand, a clue in a green bead, a man with a limp and a lonely young woman named Eileen, while a hurricane threatens the coast. Seaman builds suspense patiently and gives her young detectives intelligence, courage and a real puzzle to solve.
