Aunt Jane Nieces At Work L Frank Lyman Frank 18561919 Baum Books Reviews
The 1909 novel Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work by L. Frank Baum writing as Edith Van Dyne, is the fourth volume in the Aunt Jane's Nieces series. The three young women, Louise Merrick, Beth De Graf, and Patsy Doyle, met in the first volume of the series on the estate of their Aunt Jane, who was dying and trying to decide which niece would receive her inheritance.
In this fourth book of the series Kenneth Forbes, the young man who inherited Aunt Jane's estate, is now running for the state legislature, in what he thinks will be an easy election against a corrupt politician. He is the richest man in this poor district but inexperienced in the ways of the world. When he starts to have a rough time, and it looks like all hope is gone, his three cousins decide to go to work for his election They show up with their rich Uncle John and, even though women can't vote in 1909, they organize an effective campaign. This is an interesting story that describes the type of political maneuvering of 100 years ago. Baum's mother-in-law was the famous women's rights activist Matilda Joslyn Gage, and I feel she would have been proud of her son-in-law's characterization of these three young political women.
A wealthy uncle certainly helps but an election still requires strategy, listening & talking to voters, and generally making the incumbent uncomfortable. Especially when they arrive in town a few weeks before the election. L. Frank Baum, writing as Edith Van Dyne, is still a master storyteller.
I was really bored after church this morning so I merely picked a random book and since then have been reading it whenever I can.
This is a continuation of the series and was an easy and enjoyable read. This series is very suitable for pre-teen girls.
Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work is basically a fight between the democratic side and the republic side of a representative political battle. With a side story of am amnesiac girl, and all the twisty turns an election can take, This book has it all.
I liked the story, the girls are so very clever and charming. Uncle John is a sweet character. Kenneth has changed for the better.
