Dorothy Dale and Her Chums

Dorothy Dale and Her Chums, is many of the old classic books which have been considered important throughout the human history. They are now extremely scarce and very expensive antique. So that this work is never forgotten we republish these books in high quality, using the original text and artwork so that they can be preserved for the present and future generations. This whole book has been reformatted, retyped and designed. These books are not made of scanned copies of their original work and hence the text is clear and readable.

The Stratemeyer Syndicate wrote three series of books for girls under the name Margaret Penrose, which was a pen name. The books were published by Cupples & Leon. The Dorothy Dale series (1908-1924), the Syndicate's first lengthy series featuring a female protagonist, was the first to utilize this name. The Motor Girls series (1910-1917), a rival to the popular Motor Boys series (1906-1924), also took the moniker in response to this success. The latest new series to bear this moniker was the Radio Girls series (1922-1923). In 1930, the show was converted into a Campfire Girls series after being sold to Goldsmith. The Burglar's Daughter was one "Margaret Penrose"-an authored book that was not a Stratemeyer Syndicate publication (Jordan, Marsh, 1899). It was a coincidence that both pen names were from the Syndicate.-
