the first "Miss Minerva" Book

*See more information below.



*Miss Minerva was created by Frances Boyd Calhoun in her one book,
"Miss Minerva and William Green Hill" published in 1909.
Unfortunately Mrs. Calhoun died without ever knowing
what a success it would be. Apparently, the publisher Reilly & Lee,
asked another author, Emma Speed Simpson, to continue the story.
Simpson's first "Miss Minerva" was "Billy and The Major"
called "A Sequel to Miss Minerva and William Green Hill"
published in 1918. At least 9 more were to follow.
