I am really excited to spread the word that The Happy Hollisters are back! The books have been out of print for 40 years, but over the years we kept hearing from people who remembered the series fondly and wanted to share them with their children and grandchildren without giving up their prized hardcover editions.
The Hollister children were patterned on the personalities and adventures of his own children: my father, aunts, and uncles. Jerry West was actually a pseudonym for the author, whose real name was a carefully guarded secret for many years, but is now known to have been Andrew Svenson, my grandfather.
The Happy Hollisters by Jerry West was a 33-volume mystery series for children written from 1953 through 1969 for the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a book packager which also introduced the Hardy Boys, Bobbsey Twins, and Nancy Drew.
