Mary Eliska Girl Aviatrix: Aviatrix Air Mystery Stories Book 2 - Paperback

by William Stricklin (Author)

Our heroine in these two volumes which total 18 chapters, Mary Eliska Girl

Detective Girl Aviatrix, is a well-off young lady whose grandfather Albert

Stricklin is a newspaper publisher in Piedmont, California, who supports her

as a reporter for his paper The Piedmont Star, aware that she likes to dabble

in detective work. Flying in her airplane and driving her jalopy "Calamity Jane",

Mary Eliska joins with her three best friends: nieces Jacqueline Gray ("Jax")

and Marlow Ray, and nephew news photographer Liam McAdam to solve the

occasional case out of curiosity and sometimes to earn money separately

from her family. Mary Eliska Girl Detective Girl Aviatrix gives life to my

daughter born sixty years ago, March 10, 1963, whose life was cut short in

Clifton Springs New York September 12, 1963. She has charming manners,

oscillates between tomboyishness and a feminine ideal. She knows law and

manifests moral righteousness. Often she wears enviable dresses. Mary

Eliska's detective stories and unsolved mysteries I have re-written from the

public domain tales by Carolyn Keene (always a pseudonym), Anna Katharine

Green, Mildred Augustine Wirt Benson, Frances Crane, and anonymous

writers about Penny Parker, Mary Louise, Nancy Drew, and others. Please

enjoy reading all 18 chapters of "Mary Eliska Girl Aviatrix.
