    Carolyn Wells

    Carolyn Wells (1862-1942) was an American poet, librarian, and mystery writer. Born in Rahway, New Jersey, Wells began her career as a children’s author with such works as At the Sign of the Sphinx (1896), The Jingle Book (1899), and The Story of Betty (1899). After reading a mystery novel by Anna Katharine Green, Wells began focusing her efforts on the genre and found success with her popular Detective Fleming Stone stories. The Clue (1909), her most critically acclaimed work, cemented her reputation as a leading mystery writer of the early twentieth century. In 1918, Wells married Hadwin Houghton, the heir of the Houghton-Mifflin publishing fortune, and remained throughout her life an avid collector of rare and important poetry volumes.

      The Patty Fairfield series is seventeen volumes of loosely connected episodes chronicling the life of a wealthy New York society girl in the early 20th C. What's fascinating about this volume is that Patty falls in with a bunch of Bohemians at their "Cosmic Centre." Add fifty years and you'd swear she was writing about the Summer of Love: Bohemians in ratty clothes sitting around burning incense, discussing philosophy, and appreciating bad performance art. Patty eventually sees the light (not the cosmic light). She also tries very hard not to get engaged.
