À propos de cet ebook

The Bobbsey twins are having fun at a church picnic when a mysterious shipment arrives in town. It's a beautiful merry-go-round that needs to be repaired before it can be put into use at the upcoming county fair. Because Nan, Bert, Flossie and Freddie are so clearly fascinated by the merry-go-round, Mr. Bobbsey decides to take the family on a trip to visit the fair.

Quelques mots sur l'auteur

Laura Lee Hope is the pseudonym for Stratemeyer Syndicate ghost writers who happened to be assigned to write the Bobbsey Twins series at any given time. In 1904, Edward Stratemeyer wrote the first installment in the Bobbsey Twin series: The Bobbsey Twins, or Merry Days Indoor and Out. Mershon published it in 1904. A debate rages as to the authorship of books 2 and 3. They are traditionally attributed to Edward Stratemeyer, but other Bobbsey experts assert that Lilian C. Garis, wife of Stratemeyer writer, Howard R. Garis, wrote them. Lilian's husband, Howard R. Garis, wrote the Bobbsey Twins series from 1913 to 1935. He is responsible for books 4-28 and book 41. The series was completed by Harriet S. Adams (books 36-40, 42-48), Andrew E. Svenson (books 49-52), June M. Dunn (books 53-59), Grace Grote (books 60-67) and Nancy S. Axelrad (books 68-72).
