Aunt Jane's Nieces is the title of a juvenile novel first published in 1906, written by L. Frank Baum under the pseudonym Edith Van Dyne. Since the book was the first in a series of novels designed for adolescent girls, its title was applied to the entire series of ten books, published between 1906 and 1918. The book and the series were designed to appeal to the same audience as Louisa May Alcott's Little Women and Little Men. This was expressly stipulated in Baum's contract with his publishers. The ten titles are: Aunt Jane's Nieces (1906), Aunt Jane's Nieces Abroad (1907), Aunt Jane's Nieces at Millville (1908), Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work (1909), Aunt Jane's Nieces in Society (1910), Aunt Jane's Nieces and Uncle John (1911), Aunt Jane's Nieces on Vacation (1912), Aunt Jane's Nieces on the Ranch (1913), Aunt Jane's Nieces Out West (1914) and Aunt Jane's Nieces in the Red Cross (1915).

Mrs. Merrick, a pink-cheeked middle-aged lady attired in an elaborate morning gown, knitted her brows severely as she regarded the chubby little man opposite; then, suddenly remembering that the wrinkles might leave their dreadful mark on her carefully rolled and massaged features, she banished them with a pass of her ringed hand and sighed dismally.
