Aunt Jane's Nieces

By L. Frank Baum and Edith Van Dayne

Aunt Jane's Nieces is the title of a juvenile novel published by Reilly & Britton in 1906, and written by L. Frank Baum under the pen name "Edith Van Dyne."[1] Since the book was the first in a series of novels designed for adolescent girls, its title was applied to the entire series of ten books, published between 1906 and 1918. The book and the series were designed to appeal to the same audience as Louisa May Alcott's Little Women and Little Men. This was expressly stipulated in Baum's contract with Reilly & Britton, which stated: Baum shall deliver to the Reilly and Britton Co. on or before March 1, 1906 the manuscript of abook for young girls on the style of the Louisa M. Alcott stories, but not so good, the authorshipto be ascribed to "Ida May McFarland," or to "Ethel Lynne" or some other mythological female. Odin's Library Classics is dedicated to bringing the world the best of humankind's literature from throughout the ages. Carefully selected, each work is unabridged from classic works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or drama.
