What is the Licked Hand legend?
A young girl, about 15 years of age, was left home alone by her parents. They were going to a firend's birthday party, and were expected home very very late. The girl said goodbye to her mom and dad, ate some leftover pasta from the previous day, did her homework, and then sat down to watch T.V. with her dog, a golden retriever. As she watched Family Guy, she acidentally pressed domething on the remote and the channel changed to the news. She was about to go back to Family Guy, when she heard something that caught her attention. "A mentally ill patient has escaped from an asylum. He is unpredictable and deadly, not exactly murderous, but his mind is mixed up and no one knows what he might do next. Be on the look-out. That is all." The announcer said. The girl got scared, so she made sure all the windows were closed then made sure the front and back doors were locked. She went to close the basement windows, but they wouldn't close. So she just locked the basement door. She decided to go to bed a little early because she was still scared, and so she brushed her teeth, got in her PJ's and layed down. Her dog assumed his position under the bed. She drifted off to sleep, but awoke at midnight to a DRIP DRIP DRIP! coming from her bathroom. She got scared, so she reached her hand down, the dog licked it, and she fell asleep again. She awoke again at 3:45 AM to the same DRIP DRIP DRIP! She reached under her bed, her dog licked her hand and that was that. At 6:57 AM, she awoke to two noises. One was the usual DRIP DRIP DRIP and the other was her parents' car pulling into the driveway. Her dog licked her hand, and she gathered enough courage to go see what the dripping was. She entered her bathroom, and screamed. The dripping noise had been her dog; it had been stabbed and hung in the shower, blood dripping from its neck. She turned to the mirror, where written in the dog's blood, it said "HUMANS CAN LICK TOO!!!"

How many books has gertrude chandler warner written?
Gertrude Chandler Warner wrote 19 books in "The Boxcar Children" series, which was initially published between 1924 and 1979. Additionally, she wrote a few standalone books and other works.
I am not entirely sure these were from the 1950s, they may have been in the early 1960s, but I loved watching the detectives and private eyes of early television! There was "77 Sunset Strip" that had that cute, cute Edd Byrnes! He would enter a scene, stop and comb his hair, then carry on! My sisters and I really thought it funny, and enjoyed it! He was just a side issue sort of person on the show. The two leading men were handsome and fun to watch, but I can't remember their names. Near the end of this show, the radio had started playing a song, that went, "Kookie, Kookie, lend me your comb." Kookie, of course, was Edd Byrnes. I think that was his name on 77 Sunset Strip, too. Then, there was "Surfside 6", with the blonde beachboy we loved--Sandy. I can't remember his real name. The two leading men were also handsome, dashing, etc. We loved watching them jump into a boat and take off after the bad guys! Those are the only detective shows I can think of. I was born in 1949, so my memory more likely starts around the 1960s. I hope this helps you find what you are looking for.?
