THE BOBBSEY TWINS KEEPING HOUSE by Laura Lee Hope
THE BOBBSEY TWINS
KEEPING HOUSE
By Laura Lee Hope
The Bobbsey Twins Keeping House, the 18th book in the long-running Stratemeyer Syndicate series, was originally published by Grosset & Dunlap in 1925. Early editions featured white spine dust jackets and standard artwork with a circular spine emblem declaring "For Children of 5 to 10 Years." The books were bound in dark green cloth with applique covers that matched the artwork on the dust jacket. Circa 1930, the "For Children of 5 to 10 Years" emblem disappeared, the applique cover was eliminated and this title was published with a plain white spine dust jacket, with the exisiting cover art, for the remainder of the decade. Some print runs offered Bobbsey Twins paperdolls on the rear panel of the dust jackets. In the early 1940's, G&D switched to the pink spine dust jacket format. In the late 1940's, the blue and white spine standard dust jacket format was introduced. About 1963, this title went out of print. In 1968, the text was revised and the book was reissued in the picture cover format as The Bobbsey Twins and the Play House Secret.
