THE BOBBSEY TWINS IN THE COUNTRY (later re-titled by Grosset & Dunlap as THE BOBBSEY TWINS' ADVENTURE IN THE COUNTRY) was first published in 1907 as the second book in the Bobbsey Twins series following its 1904 progenitor, THE BOBBSEY TWINS, OR MERRY DAYS INDOORS AND OUT. Grosset & Dunlap licensed the Bobbsey Twins series from the Stratemeyer Syndicate in 1908 as did Whitman Publishing Company in the 1940s. It is less clear, however, whether editions by Perks Publishing, Goldsmith Publishing, and Saalfield Publishing were authorized. The dust jacket of this Perks Publishing copy closely follows the Goldsmith edition (also circa 1940) in both light blue color and graphic design other than the fomer having the pseudonymous "Laura Lee Hope" centered at the front panel bottom whereas the latter has the name more-or-less right-justified. A very good+ copy in a very good- dust jacket of an uncommon Bobbsey Twins imprint. …
