From Wikipedia: \"The Bobbsey Twinsare the principal characters of what was, for many years, theStratemeyer Syndicate\'s longest-running series of children\'s novels, penned under the pseudonymLaura Lee Hope. The first of 72 books were published in 1904, the last in 1979, with a separate series of 30 books published from 1987 through 1992. The books related the adventures of the children of theupper-middle-classBobbsey family, which included two sets offraternal twins: Nan and Bert, who were 12 years old, and Flossie and Freddie, who were six.
Plots -In the original editions, the first books in the series (like those in previous Stratemeyer series) took place in a clear chronology, with the characters aging as time passed.The Bobbsey Twins: Merry Days Indoors and Outtook place over the course of a school year, with Nan and Bert described as eight years old and Freddie and Flossie four. The second book,The Bobbsey Twins in the Countryis set at the beginning of the following summer. The second part of the summer is chronicled inThe Bobbsey Twins at the Seashore, which is written as a direct sequel to the previous book, tying up some plot threads. The fourth book,The Bobbsey Twins at School, begins the next autumn, with Nan and Bert \"nearly nine years old\" and Freddie and Flossie \"almost five.\" Editors at the Stratemeyer Syndicate quickly realized that at this rate their young heroes would quickly age beyond their readership, and so the later books in the series (and in all revised editions) take place in a sort ofchronological stasis, with the older twins perpetually 12 years old and the younger set 6. The earliest Bobbsey books were mainly episodic strings of adventures; with the growing popularity of theHardy BoysandNancy Drew, detective plots began to dominate the series. Even so, few of the mysteries involved violent crime, and quite a few did not involve any crime at all.\"
