The Bobbsey Twins series set the mark for juvenile fiction in the early twentieth century, and was almost single-handedly responsible for the genre's skyrocketing popularity during that era. This early entrant in the series introduces the eternally chipper Bobbsey family and their two sets of fraternal twins. Younger readers will be charmed by these tales of simple childhood pleasures.
One of the most popular juvenile fiction series of the early twentieth century, The Bobbsey Twins tales recount the adventures of the Bobbseys, a family blessed with two sets of fraternal twins. In this volume, the twins find plenty of fun—and a little bit of trouble—right in their own backyard.
The Story of a Stuffed Elephant is another winner from the masterminds of timeless juvenile fiction at the Stratemeyer Syndicate, the twentieth century group responsible for classics such as The Bobbsey Twins, The Hardy Boys, and Nancy Drew. In this charming tale intended for younger audiences, the rich inner life of a humble stuffed elephant is revealed.
