Marjorie Maytime edition by Carolyn Wells Literature Fiction eBooks
A week ago I bought this book used showing a 1911 copyright. It had been a Christmas present from an aunt to her niece in 1929.I loved the book. It is beautifully written. What a pleasure not to stumble over incorrect or ungrammatical language. From what I learned from my mother, born in 1894, and her scrapbook, the family and their escapades are believable.
Born in 1862, Carolyn Wells was in incredibly talented author and poet..and that's an understatement. She wrote 170 books. She wrote comic strips for newspapers.
Today she is best known for her light verse, particularly for several classic limericks.
Read all about her on wikipedia and don't miss the limerick at the end of the article.

Marjorie Maytime edition by Carolyn Wells Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I was delighted to find one of my dear childhood favorites back in print! Though the six Marjorie books were popular well before my time, I was enchanted by my mother's copy of Marjorie's New Friend and eventually collected the whole series at flea markets and antique stores. Marjorie's Maytime takes the Maynard family on a month-long trip in their new automobile from their home in Rockwell, NY to New York City, and through New England, finally ending in Boston. Quite a luxury in 1911!
The book's language is dated (which is part of its charm), and there are some stereotypes we try to avoid today. Of course the manners are dated as well, but Mr. and Mrs. Maynard teach proper behavior to their children without the harshness or moralizing that can offend modern readers of the Elsie Dinsmore books, for example. This family has fun together (and the money to live in enviable comfort, though the books describe it as simple); and the books were intended simply for pleasure and entertainment. Readers of the American Girls books might try these for stories actually written in the style of the times.
