    About this audiobook

    Mary Louise is a young girl, very honest and wise beyond her years. This at times put her at odds with her classmates at school, but she is mature enough to not be bothered by their attitudes for the most part. Mary Louise lived with her mother and grandfather, with whom she was very close. She is shocked one day when, after her grandfather had an awkward encounter with a man on their walk, her grandfather sits her down and tells her that he and her mother must leave her for awhile. He makes arrangements for her to board at school and sneaks off with his daughter in the middle of the night. Mary Louise is upset and then astounded to find out that her grandfather is running from the law. As the other children at school find out the circumstances surrounding Mary Louise's situation, they begin to relentlessly tease and trouble her. Mary Louise eventually runs away and finds a friend of her grandfather's, but also discovers that the law is trailing her as well. A host of mysterious characters begin filtering into Mary Louise's new life with the Conants and her friend Irene, and it is only a matter of time before Mary Louise finds out all these new people coming together is no coincidence. With Irene's help, Mary Louise finally unravels the mystery surrounding her family.
    L. Frank Baum (1856-1919) was an American author of children's books, most famous for his "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." Baum, along with other authors, wrote 'Mary Louise' and the other books in "The Bluebird Books" under the pen name Edith Van Dyne. The series focuses on young girl detectives and was very popular with adolescent girls in the early 20th century.

    L. Frank Baum

    Lyman Frank Baum was born in 1856 in Chittenango in the state of New York. Educated mostly at home due to ill health, he was encouraged by his wealthy father to pursue his early interests in journalism and playwriting. He started his first magazine aged fifteen, had his own theatre at twenty-four and worked for many newspapers and periodicals before turning to children's fiction with stories he had made up for his own four sons. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, published in 1900, was his third bestselling book in as many years, and launched the series of Oz titles. Baum had moved with his family to Hollywood following the huge success of the books and stage adaptations. His own Oz Film Manufacturing Company failed to capitalize on the stories, and the hugely popular movie The Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland, was not made until twenty years after Baum's death in 1939.
