Aunt Jane's Nieces at Millville

''Aunt Jane's Nieces at Millville'' is a 1908 young-adult novel〔"Edith Van Dyne," ''Aunt Jane's Nieces at Millville'', Chicago, Reilly & Britton, 1908.〕 written by L. Frank Baum, famous as the creator of the Land of Oz. It is the third volume in "the successful Aunt Jane Series,"〔''Bookseller & Stationer'', Vol. 24, Toronto, Maclean Publishing, 1908; p. 61.〕 following ''Aunt Jane's Nieces'' and ''Aunt Jane's Nieces Abroad''. These books for adolescent girls constituted the second greatest success of Baum's literary career, after the Oz books. Like the other books in the series, the ''Millville'' volume was released under the pen name "Edith Van Dyne," one of Baum's multiple pseudonyms.
==Genre==
Novels for adolescent readers can take many specific forms: after the family inheritance drama of ''Aunt Jane's Nieces'' and the travel adventure of ''Aunt Jane's Nieces Abroad'', Baum cast his third book as a small-town drama with a bucolic atmosphere, in which a traditional society is contrasted with the world of the ''nouveau-riche'' rising business class. In this, the book resembles Baum's earlier novel ''Annabel'' (1906). In the view of Baum biographer Katharine Rogers, "the substance" of the ''Millville'' book "is humor at the expense of the local yokels."〔Katharine M. Rogers, ''L. Frank Baum, Creator of Oz: A Biography'', New York, St. Martin's Press, 2002; p. 154.〕
The novel has other aspects too, however. Baum would spend much of the last decade of his writing career working in the girl-detective vein〔Bobbie Ann Mason, ''The Girl Sleuth'', Athens, GA, University of Georgia Press, 1995.〕 — in his books ''The Daring Twins'' and ''Phoebe Daring'' (1911–12) and in the first five books of the ''Mary Louise'' series (1916–20). Yet he made his first ventures in the genre in some of the ''Aunt Jane'' books, notably here in the third book of the series. His handling of the detective genre here is satiric, though; the three cousins are influenced in their detecting effort by the novels they have read – and their efforts are soon shown to be misguided and erroneous. (The plot does eventually resolve itself as something of a detective story, as the Merrick clan solves a mystery involving the fate of key supporting characters. The plot features a locked cabinet with a secret compartment – with ''another'' secret compartment inside that.)
Baum spreads his gentle and genial satire to other targets too, even to the popular fiction of his era. One character is a habitual reader of the "paper-covered novels" of the day, including one specific title, ''The Angel Maniac's Revenge.''〔''Aunt Jane's Nieces at Millville'', pp. 233, 236.〕
