Mary Bobbsey, his wife, a stay-at-home mom Richard Bobbsey, the owner of a lumber yard in Lakeport Of the 1960s rewrites not mentioned, volumes 5 and 16 are credited to Mary Donahoe, 6 and 25 to Patricia Doll, 8–10 and 15 to Bonnibel Weston, and 24 to Margery Howard. Grace Grote is regarded as the author of 60–67 and the rewrites of 14 and 18–20, and Nancy Axelrad is credited with 68–72. Volumes 49–52 are attributed to Andrew Svenson, while 53–59, and the 1960s rewrites of 1–4, 7, 11–13, and 17, are attributed to June Dunn.

Elizabeth Ward is credited with volumes 29–35, while Harriet Stratemeyer Adams is credited with 36–38, 39 (with Camilla McClave), 40, 42, 43 (with Andrew Svenson), and 44–48. Speculation that Stratemeyer also wrote the second and third volumes of the series is believed to be incorrect these books are attributed to Lilian Garis, wife of Howard Garis, credited with volumes 4–28 and 41. At least two attempts to restart the series were launched after this, but neither effort saw the popularity the original series achieved. When the original series was brought to its conclusion in 1979, it reached a total of 72 volumes.

The books related the adventures of the children of the upper-middle-class Bobbsey family, which included two sets of fraternal twins: Bert and Nan, who were twelve years old, and Flossie and Freddie, who were six.Įdward Stratemeyer is believed to be the writer of the first volume in its original form in 1904. The first of 72 books was published in 1904, the last in 1979, with a separate series of 30 books published from 1987 through 1992. The Bobbsey Twins are the principal characters of what was, for 75 years, the Stratemeyer Syndicate's longest-running series of American children's novels, written under the pseudonym Laura Lee Hope.
