Lizette M. (Lizette McCully) Edholm

Born on November 1, 1878, Lizette McCully Edholm was an American author of juvenile fiction. The main facts that can be confirmed from readily available library and public-domain sources are modest but clear: she is associated with four books, all published in 1932, and she died in December 1967.

Her best-known work is the Merriweather Girls series, which includes The Merriweather Girls and the Mystery of the Queen's Fan, The Merriweather Girls on Campers' Trail, The Merriweather Girls in Quest of Treasure, and The Merriweather Girls at Good Old Rockhill. These stories mix mystery and adventure with a cheerful group dynamic, making them a good fit for readers who enjoy classic girls' series fiction.

Reliable biographical detail about her life beyond the books is limited in the sources available here, so the safest picture is of a writer whose reputation rests on this compact run of children's adventures. Even so, the survival of her novels in Project Gutenberg, HathiTrust, and similar catalogs suggests a lasting interest in her work.
