  <abstract>"The Merriweather Girls and the Mystery of the Queen's Fan" by Lizette M. Edholm is a children's novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story features a group of young girls, led by Bet Baxter, as they embark on adventures and solve mysteries, culminating in encounters with a historical artifact—a fan believed to have belonged to a queen. The narrative intertwines themes of friendship, bravery, and the joys of childhood exploration.  The opening of the book introduces the characters of Bet, Joy, Shirley, and a newcomer named Kit Patten, who has recently moved from Arizona and is feeling homesick. The girls connect while enjoying a picnic on the Merriweather Estate, where they hear of Kit's background and realize her difficulties in adjusting to her new environment. An unexpected encounter with a horse-riding girl leads to new friendships, and together they plan to form a club called the "Merriweather Girls." Their day is filled with laughter, camaraderie, and a touch of excitement, setting the stage for further adventures and mysteries to unfold as the story progresses.
