Honey Bunch
The Honey Bunch series of books were part of the Stratemeyer Syndicate's production of 20th century children's books featuring adventurous youngsters, which included the series Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys and the Bobbsey Twins. This series was written under the pseudonym Helen Louise Thorndyke, and published for most of its duration by Grosset & Dunlap. The series began in 1923 and chronicled a young girl named Honey Bunch on her various trips and adventures. Along with Laura Lee Hope's series Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue, it was one of their most famous series for younger children.
The first sixteen volumes were written by Josephine Lawrence:
Series books were at times perceived as being poor quality children's literature. Honey Bunch volumes 1 and 2 were among a set of books that school librarians eliminated from reading lists in the 1920s, after determining that they had low literary value.
Mildred Wirt Benson, who is best known for writing many of the first Nancy Drew books, wrote five books in this series:
And the series continues into a third and fourth decade:
The original series consisted of 34 books (the 34th published in 1955), although for the final two books, the title format was changed from just "Honey Bunch" to "Honey Bunch and Norman", signaling the shift the series would take to attempt to appeal to both sexes.
A 35th book was listed in the back of #34 as Honey Bunch and Norman Visit Cocoa Land. This book was never released. However, the manuscript of it is in the New York Public Library archives.
In 1957 the series was re-vamped with altered titles. As would also be done later by the Syndicate with the Dana Girls series, recent titles in the original series were recycled throughout the beginning of the new series. For example, Honey Bunch and Norman on Lighthouse Island, was first published in 1949 as Honey Bunch: Her First Trip to a Lighthouse, and Honey Bunch and Norman Visit Reindeer Farm 1958 was first published in 1953 as Honey Bunch: Her First Trip to Reindeer Farm. These books were written by Andrew E. Svenson and unlike the previous series that had 1 to 3 illustrations, were illustrated throughout.
