Aunt Jane's Nieces at Millville is a 1908 young adult novel 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," 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.

Aunt Jane’s Nieces named Louise Merrick, Patsy Doyle, and Beth de Graf are the main characters of the story. Their funny and pragmatic Uncle John shares his wealth by helping those who are in need. The story talks about their uncle taking them to a farmhouse to escape the scorching heat of the city. With some unexpected events along the way. Aunt Jane’s Nieces at Millville is the third sequel to the series of novels of Aunt Jane’s Nieces by Lyman Frank Baum. He was born in Chittenango, New York into an ardent Methodist family. He had a German, Scots, Irish, and English descent. His name, Lyman, was the name of his uncle, he doesn’t want to be called as such and chose to be called by his middle name, Frank. He was also greatly known for his pseudonyms L. Frank Baum, George Brooks, Louis F. Baum, Laura Bancroft, Suzanne Metcalf, Capt. Hugh Fitzgerald, Schuyler Staunton, Edith Van Dyne, Floyd Akers, and John Estes Cooke. He was an author, newspaper editor, actor, screenwriter, and film producer. His main themes are fantasy, poetry, and short stories. He is incredibly eminent for his fantasy novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. After writing the novel, he wrote another thirteen novels as its sequel. His writings awaited subsequent hundred years mundane such as television, augmented reality, laptop computers in The Master Key, wireless telephones in Tik-Tok of Oz, women in dangerous, perilous, action filled jobs in Mary Louise in the Country, and the pervasiveness of exhibiting on apparels in Aunt Jane’s Nieces at Work. He started his career in writing at an early age when his father bought him a small printing press. His brother Henry ‘Harry’ Clay Baum helped him write The Rose Lawn Home Journal. The brothers wrote many issues of the journal, published and sold those issues. As a young adult, he was encouraged to write more books all throughout his lifetime.

The old soldier had already forgotten his grievance. He quarreled persistently with his wealthy employer and brother-in-law—whom he fairly adored—to prevent the possibility (as he often confided to Patsy) of his falling down and worshiping him. John Merrick was a multi-millionaire, to be sure; but there were palliating circumstances that almost excused him. He had been so busily occupied in industry that he never noticed how his wealth was piling up until he discovered it by accident.

John Merrick was sixty years old. He was short, stout and chubby-faced, with snow-white hair, mild blue eyes and an invariably cheery smile. Simple in his tastes, modest and retiring, lacking the education and refinements of polite society, but shrewd and experienced in the affairs of the world, the little man found his greatest enjoyment in the family circle that he had been instrumental in founding.
