For sale is a 1911 THE MOTOR MAIDS ACROSS THE CONTINENT HARDCOVER BOOK by Katherine Stokes. This young adult book was the third book in the The Motor Girls Series. This book is in fair good condition with an intact but worn spine and terrific cover art. Inside the cover there is a handwritten Christmas gift subscription dated 1917. The plot of the 312-page book concerns a wacky adventure novel in which four young women (Nancy, Elinor, Mary, and Wilhemina AKA “Billie”) and Miss Helen Campbell (their chaperone) drive a red car named The Comet across the western states, from Chicago to San Francisco. A great children’s literary collectible.
The Stratemeyer Syndicate was the producer of a number of mystery series for children, including Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, the various Tom Swift series, the Bobbsey Twins, the Rover Boys, and others.
