About the book
"The Bobbsey Twins or Merry Days Indoors and Out" introduces the delightful and inquisitive Bobbsey children-Bert and Nan, eight years old and dark and thin; and Freddie and Flossie, four years old and blonde and plump-two sets of high-spirited twins living in Lakeport, USA. The first of more than eighty books in a series, The Bobbsey Twins sets up a winning formula, allowing us to share the days and nights of the four lovable Bobbsey children, times filled with sledding and boating; kite-flying and kitten-rescuing; a bit of fending off the schoolyard bully, the highly disagreeable Danny Rugg; and even some sleuthing as they try to solve a vexing mystery. With the nurturing love of their parents, the twins' imagination flourishes through their sometimes glorious-and sometimes harrowing-escapades and play, and their adventures bring back to us all the ups and downs attendant with growing up.
