HONEY BUNCH: JUST A LITTLE GIRL by Helen Louise Thorndyke

HONEY BUNCH By Helen Louise Thorndyke

The highly successful Honey Bunch Series consisted of 32 titles produced by the Stratemeyer Syndicate series from 1923 through 1955. Mildred Wirt and Josephine Lawrence are credited as two of the ghostwriters who contributed to this series. Like most Stratemeyer series, Honey Bunch was published in a variety of formats. Early thick editions can be found with beautiful applique covers with matching dust jacket art by W.S. Rogers and Marie Schubert. Later thick and thin red editions dropped the applique but retained the original jacket art. In 1950, the series was reissued in green spine dust jackets with uniform cover art. In 1953, in preparation of the publication of the 31st Honey Bunch title, Her First Ride with the Sky Mailman, Grosset & Dunlap introduced the Wrap Around Illustrated Dust Jacket. This new jacket design was used on first printings of volumes #31 & 32 and for reprints of a number of earlier titles. The Wrap Around Illustrated Jacket Editions and the Green Spine Dust Jacket Editions were in print simultaneously. In the mid-1950's, Clover Books, a division of McLoughlin Brothers, reprinted 12 Honey Bunch titles. These books may be found in two pictorial cover formats. The first had a rounded spine and a later version had a flat, squared spine. Artwork was identical on all titles in both formats. Titles reprinted in this set include Her First Trip West, First Summer on an Island, First Trip in an Airplane, First Visit to the Zoo, First Big Adventure, First Little Mystery, First Little Circus, First Little Treasure Hunt, First Little Club, First Twin Playmates, First Costume Party and First Winter at Snowtop. In 1957, G&D decided to repackage the entire series to appeal to both boys and girls. Specific volumes in the Honey Bunch series, and some new titles, were released as the Honey Bunch & Norman Stories.

Note: The number listed in parentheses after the condition indicates the number of series titles listed on the dust jacket flap or rear cover. For instance, a copy of Honey Bunch: Just A Little Girl which lists to volume #20 is an earlier printing than a similar copy that lists to volume #25.
