About the author
Born on November 1, 1878, Lizette McCully Edholm wrote under the name Lizette M. Edholm. The biographical details that are easy to confirm are limited, but reliable catalog and audiobook records agree that she was an American author and that she died in December 1967.
Her reputation rests on the Merriweather Girls books, a set of four juvenile novels published in 1932. These stories follow a group of girls through adventures filled with clues, camaraderie, and a sense of movement from one intriguing setting to the next.
Today, her work survives mainly through public-domain editions and audiobook recordings, which have helped introduce her to new readers and listeners. Even with only a small known body of work, she left behind a cheerful corner of early 20th-century children's mystery fiction.
