Produktbeschreibung

'"The Motor Girls" is a series of young adult novels written by Margaret Penrose in the early 20th century. The series follows a group of teenage girls who form a motor club and embark on exciting adventures together. Throughout the series, free friends are trying to solve mysteries, help people in need, and take on daring challenges while driving their cars. The books were popular in their time because they offered young girls a sense of independence and adventure, which was unusual for female characters in literature at the time. They also provided a window into the early days of the automobile industry and the culture surrounding it. Although the series is somewhat dated by modern standards, it remains a beloved classic among those who enjoy vintage children's literature and early 20th-century Americana.

Autorenporträt

The Stratemeyer Syndicate wrote three series of books for girls under the name Margaret Penrose, which was a pen name. The books were published by Cupples & Leon. The Dorothy Dale series (1908-1924), the Syndicate's first lengthy series featuring a female protagonist, was the first to utilize this name. The Motor Girls series (1910-1917), a rival to the popular Motor Boys series (1906-1924), also took the moniker in response to this success. The latest new series to bear this moniker was the Radio Girls series (1922-1923). In 1930, the show was converted into a Campfire Girls series after being sold to Goldsmith. The Burglar's Daughter was one "Margaret Penrose"-an authored book that was not a Stratemeyer Syndicate publication (Jordan, Marsh, 1899). It was a coincidence that both pen names were from the Syndicate.¿
