About the author
Edith Lavell was an American writer of juvenile fiction whose books were published in the 1920s and 1930s. The clearest confirmed record available here comes from library and public-domain catalog sources, which link her name to series fiction for young readers rather than to a detailed personal biography.
She is especially associated with the Girl Scouts books and the Linda Carlton novels. Titles connected to her by the Library of Congress, Project Gutenberg, and other catalog pages include The Girl Scouts at Miss Allen's School, The Girl Scouts' Motor Trip, Linda Carlton, Air Pilot, and Linda Carlton's Ocean Flight.
Because reliable biographical details about her life were not readily confirmed in the sources I found, it seems safest to remember her mainly through the books themselves: upbeat, adventurous stories written for young readers at a time when series fiction, outdoor activity, and modern technology like aviation were exciting parts of popular culture.
