Synopsis
Uncle Daniel Ponder may be a bit simple, but his heart is made of gold, and so is his fortune, but he's always giving things away. His niece Edna Earle keeps a watchful eye on him as he falls in love with 17-year-old Bonnie Dee. The young girl gives him a "trial marriage" and then leaves Uncle Daniel with a broken heart. But why is gentle Uncle Daniel being charged for murder?

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
