"The Bobbsey Twins are the principal characters of what was, for many years, the Stratemeyer Syndicate's longest-running series of children's novels, penned under the pseudonym Laura Lee Hope. Edward Stratemeyer himself is believed to have written the first volume, in its original form in 1904. When the original series was halted in 1979, it had reached a total of 72 volumes. At least two abortive attempts to restart the series were launched after this, but neither achieved the popularity of the original series.
The popular legend that Stratemeyer himself wrote all of the first three volumes of the series is believed to be pure fiction; the second and third volumes are generally attributed to Lilian Garis, wife of Howard Garis, who is credited with volumes 4-28 and 41. 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. Volumes 49-52 are generally attributed to Andrew Svenson, while 53-59, and the 1960s rewrites of 1-4, 7, 11-13, and 17, are attributed to June Dunn. Grace Grote is generally regarded as the real author of 60-67 and the rewrites of 14 and 18-20, and Nancy Axelrad is credited with 68-72. Of the 1960s rewrites not already 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."
