Here's a vague one, and if anyone can answer it, Fiction_L can!

A patron is trying to find a series or trilogy of girls growing up. This is supposed to be a classic and was written pre 1950s.The patron said the girls may have been named Mary, or Kate, or Ashley (definitely not the Olsens, though!)

Thanks for any suggestions you may offer.

"We could, for example, have pointed out that Darwin's theory of evolution explains how lower life forms can evolve into higher ones, which in turn makes it entirely reasonable that a human should evolve into an orangutan (while remaining a librarian since there is no higher life form than a librarian)."

A long shot--The Betsy, Tacey and Tib series by Maude Hart Lovelace? They
take place in small town, Minnesota.

It wasn't the Betsy, Tacy and Tib books by Maud Hart Lovelace?

The opinions are my own; the library wouldn't want 'em!
