Carolyn Wells 
Staying Guest [EPUB ebook] 

Carolyn Wells (June 18, 1862 — March 26, 1942) was an American author and poet. Wells wrote a total of more than 170 books. She was a well known author of children’s stories, until she began reading mystery stories written by Anna Katherine Green, and from then on she devoted her writings to puzzling mysteries in a similar vein. A new book by this popular author, and written in her best and most interest-compelling style. Ladybird Lovell, the staying guest, is a quaint and startling but loving and lovable child, who comes unbidden into the home of her supposed aunts Priscilla and Dorinda. How she wins her way is the story. "The Staying Guest" is an enjoyable read that will surely leave you glad for having picked it up! (Amazon)
