Amy D. V. Chalmers

Amy D. V. Chalmers is remembered for the Madge Morton books, a short series of girls’ adventure novels published in 1914. Confirmed titles include Madge Morton, Captain of the Merry Maid, Madge Morton's Secret, Madge Morton's Trust, and Madge Morton's Victory.

Reliable biographical details about her life are scarce, and I could not confirm basics such as birth and death dates from the sources I found. What is clear is that her work belongs to the tradition of early 1900s juvenile fiction, especially stories centered on friendship, independence, and light adventure.

Her novels remain available to modern readers through library catalogs, bookseller listings, and Project Gutenberg, which has helped preserve her work for a new audience curious about vintage girls’ series fiction.
