| Summary |
"Aunt Jane's Nieces Abroad" by L. Frank Baum is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. This story continues the adventures of a trio of young women—Patsy Doyle, Beth De Graf, and Louise Merrick—as they embark on an exciting trip to Europe with their eccentric and wealthy uncle, John Merrick. The novel explores themes of adventure, friendship, and self-discovery as the girls navigate new cultures and experiences in a foreign land. At the start of the tale, we find Uncle John planning a European vacation, much to the astonishment of Patsy and her father, Major Doyle. Their lively discussion leads to the surprise decision that Patsy will accompany Uncle John to Europe, which begins the story’s exploration of their adventure. Following their departure, the opening chapters focus on their journey aboard the ship, their interactions with fellow passengers, and their first encounters in Naples, where they find themselves in the midst of a volcanic eruption from Mount Vesuvius. The girls' personalities and backgrounds begin to shine through as they face unexpected challenges and make delightful new acquaintances, setting the stage for further adventures in Italy.
