The Abbey Girls. The Abbey Girls were created by “Elsie Oxenham,” the pseudonym of Elsie Dunkerley, and appeared in the forty-nine book “Abbey Girls” series, beginning with The Girls of the Hamlet Club (1914) and concluding with Two Queens at the Abbey (1959).

The Abbey Girls are the cousins Joan and Joy Shirley, Jen Robbins (a younger girl), and Janice “Jandy Mac” Macdonald, an Australian. They attend school at Abinger Hall and Gracedieu Abbey. They have various adventures, some of which are mildly crime-related. As time passes the girls mature and marry and their daughters have adventures of their own.
