In the Laura Lee Hope books, the Bobbsey Twins, are these books based on real peoople?

McGruff

The Bobbsey Twins were created in 1904 by Edward Stratemeyer, using the pseudonym ''Laura Lee Hope.'' Stratemeyer created and managed dozens of juvenile series, including Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, and Tom Swift. The Bobbseys live ''in the eastern city of Lakeport, which is clearly in the Northeast because it snows a lot there, at the head of Lake Metoka. Mr. Bobbsey is a prosperous lumber merchant. Mrs. Bobbsey is a housewife. Bert and Nan are the older twins, and Flossie and Freddie are the younger set.'' I am not finding any indication that they were based on real people. http://pw1.netcom.com/~drmike99/bobbsey.html May 20 03, 9:01 AM
