    Series Books Through the Lens of History by David M. Baumann This article first appeared in The Mystery and Adventure Series Review #43, summer 2010 Books As Time Machines It was more than half a century ago that I learned how to type. My parents had a Smith-Corona typewriter—manual, of course—that I used to write letters to my cousins. A few years later I took a “typing class” in junior high. Students were encouraged to practice “touch typing” and to aim for a high number of “words per minute”. There were distinctive sounds associated with typing that I can still hear in my memory. I remember the firm and rapid tap of the keys, much more “solid” than the soft burr of computer “keyboarding”. A tiny bell rang to warn me that the end of the line was coming; I would finish the word or insert a hyphen, and then move the platen from left to right with a quick whirring ratchet of motion. Frequently there was the sound of a sheet of paper being pulled out of the machine, either with a rip of frustration accompanied by an impatient crumple and toss, or a careful tug followed by setting the completed page aside; then another sheet was inserted with the roll of the platen until the paper was deftly positioned. Now and then I had to replace a spool of inked ribbon and clean the keys with an old toothbrush. Musing on these nearly vanished sounds, I put myself in the place of the writers of our series books, nearly all of whom surely wrote with typewriters.

Thus there are discussions both of literature specifically written for adolescents and the literature adolescents choose to read. The term adolescent is understood to include young people in grades five or six through ten or eleven. The articles are written by high school, college, and university teachers and discuss adolescent literature in general (e.g., Geraldine E. LaRoque's "A Bright and Promising Future for Adolescent Literature"), particular types of this literature (e.g., Nicholas J. Karolides' "Focus on Black Adolescents"), and particular books, (e.g., Beverly Haley's "'The Pigman'- -Use It1"). Also included is an extensive list of current books and articles on adolescent literature, adolescents' reading interests, and how these books relate to the teaching of English..The bibliography is divided into (1) general bibliographies,(2) histories and criticism of adolescent literature, CO dime novels, (4) adolescent literature before 1940, (5) reading interest studies, (6) modern adolescent literature, (7) adolescent books in the schools, and (8) comments about young people's reading.

  • A List of English & American Sequel Stories
    9lOo. UC-NRLF B ^ bi3 aia A LIST OF ENGLISH & AMERICAN SEQUEL STORIES ^' Compiled by THOMAS ALDRED PUBLISHED BY THE LIBRARY ASSISTANTS* ASSOCIATION 1922 ^rice 6s. net ~ 9 ^ m A LIST OF ENGLISH & AMERICAN EQUEL STORIES Compiled by THOMAS ALDRED PUBLISHED BY THE LIBRARY ASSISTANTS' ASSOCIATION 1922 London : Tbuslove and Bbay. Ltd., Printers, West Norwood, S.E. 27. PREFACE Many years ago I compiled a comparatively short list of sequel stories for staff reference purposes, and the list was subsequently published in The Library World (1900-1). Several librarians who found the old list useful have asked me at various times to bring it up-to-date, and I have at last found leisure to accede to the request and to add a large number of stories not listed in the original list. In order to serve useful purposes I have included (a) Stories in which the same character appears in more than one book ; (h) Series forming a continuous narrative of events ; (c) Trilogies and the like ; (d) A few other notes. The material has been drawn from very many sources, some being of doubtful reliability, and in the absence of other data has had to be used without confirmation. It is probable that there are some errors of commission and, on account of the difficulty of obtaining information of sequence-stories, many more of omission. I should therefore be glad if corrections and notes of additions were sent to me direct. To keep down the cost of printing, initials only are given of fore-names ; dates of publication and names of publishers are omitted for the same season.

Probably it’s in behind all this junk.” Frank held the match. They had to be careful, for the place was as dry as tinder and any negligence might have made the whole place a mass of flame from which there would have been no escape. ... In a neat little hiding place ... lay a bag. It was an ordinary gunny sack, but when Joe dragged it forth he knew at once that their search had ended. “We’ve found it!” he exulted. “The Tower treasure!” (from The Tower Treasure, 1927) It is a Friday morning in autumn.

Paperback. Book Condition: New. 224 x 150 mm. Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Edward Stratemeyer (1862-1930) was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey. He was an American publisher and writer of books for children. He wrote 150 books himself, and created the most famous of the series books for juveniles, including the Rover Boys (1899 and after), Bobbsey Twins (1904), Tom Swift (1910), Hardy Boys (1927), and Nancy Drew (1930) series, among others. Stratemeyer pioneered the technique of producing long-running, consistent series of books using a team of freelance authors to write standardised novels, which were published under a pen name owned by his company. Through his Stratemeyer Syndicate, founded in 1906, Stratemeyer produced short plot summaries for the novels in each series, which he sent to other writers who completed the story. Stratemeyer s series were also innovative in that they were intended purely as entertainment, with little of the moral lessons or educational intent found in most other popular fiction of the early twentieth century. Stratemeyer s series included, besides the famous ones, many that are now forgotten except by collectors: The Motor Boys (1906), Honey Bunch (1923), The...
