[named after a narrative mannerism characteristic of the Tom Swift American series of adventure novels for boys] In actual use, "Tom Swiftie" seems to have a somewhat broader meaning, and includes the form christened "croakers" by Roy Bongartz, wherein a verb rather than an adverb supplies the pun (e.g. "I'm dying", he croaked). "Who is this Tom Swiftie character anyway?" asked Tom unselfconsciously. Tom Swift was the brainchild of Edward L. Stratemeyer (1862-1930). Stratemeyer first used the name "Tom Swift" for the title character in "Shorthand Tom; or, the exploits of a young reporter", serialized in 1894. Sixteen years later he re-used the name for a new character, an ingenious youth whose amazing scientific inventions and discoveries would carry him to weird and wonderful places.

Extractions: Home Hardy Boys History Authors Franklin W. Dixon Edward Stratemeyer ... Title Check List Created in 1926 by Edward Stratemeyer , who also created Nancy Drew Tom Swift , the Rover Boys and dozens of other memorable characters, the Hardy Boys remain popular today with close to 400 titles published in several different series. Their adventures continue in a series of paperback books The Hardy Boys aka the Digests original unrevised stories reprinted by Applewood Books. In addition to their solo adventures in the original stories and the Digests , they have joined forces with Nancy Drew in the Supermystery series, the two volume Super Sleuths series and the Be A Detective series and with Tom Swift in the short-lived Ultra Thriller series. They also spawned two spin-off series ( Casefiles and The Clues Brothers) , in addition to many other books such as The Detective Handbook, Ghost Stories , etc. The Hardy Boys have become pop culture icons and have spawned 4 TV series (including an animated cartoon series) in addition to many other media Starting in 1959, the first 38 stories were revised and somewhat abridged, much to the dismay of long-time Hardy Boys fans. The books were shortened, obsolete prose was updated and racial stereotypes were eliminated. Although the stories were given the same titles and some of the plots remained basically the same, many books were given new plots and are unrecogizable from the originals. Unfortunately, the quality of the writing was nowhere near as high as in the unrevised versions and the resulting stories lost much of their original charm.

'Radio Boys' Series By 'Allen Chapman' And Others
by Howard Roger Garis (18731962) and published under the Victor Appleton name Leon,1912) which was published in 1912 under the Frank V. Webster pseudonym.
http://www.keeline.com/Chapman/

Extractions: by James D. Keeline "Allen Chapman" was a pseudonym of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a "book packager," to use a modern phrase, which was responsible for many popular juvenile series books published between 1905 and 1986, including the Bobbsey Twins, Tom Swift, Hardy Boys, and Nancy Drew books, among thers. The Syndicate produced some 1,600 volumes which were written from outlines by hired "ghostwriters" for a flat fee (ie no royalties). Over the 75+ years of their operation, the Syndicate hired about 100 different ghostwriters for their series. Some writers completed only a short story or a partial manuscript while some others wrote more than 100 volumes. In one case, Howard R. Garis, wrote more than 315 books for the Syndicate. The "Allen Chapman" name was used on several Syndicate series and many writers worked on books published under that name. One story may have been written by the founder of the Syndicate, Edward Stratemeyer (1862- 1930), but the others were by hired writers. For example, the Chapman name was used on the Ralph of the Railroad series and five different writers were involved in the ten volumes in the series. The first five were written by Weldon James Cobb (1849-1922), the Syndicate's first ghostwriter, followed by two books by Walter Bertram Foster (1869-1929), one book by John William Duffield (1859-1946), one by Roger Carroll Garis (1901-1967), and one by John Franklin Carter (1881-?).

http://pw2.netcom.com/~drmike99/aboutbobbsey.html

Extractions: Children Forever ... In the first place, there never was a "Laura Lee Hope." The Bobbsey Twins were created in 1904 by Edward Stratemeyer. One of dozens of juvenile series that Stratemeyer created and managed, the Bobbseys, along with Nancy Drew The Hardy Boys , and Tom Swift are among the best known of childrens' book characters. Using the pseudonym "Laura Lee Hope," Legend says that Stratemeyer wrote the first three books himself, then hired ghost writers to write the remaining books, often from outlines he prepared. Newer information tells us that he probably only wrote the first book. Careful reading of the first three will suggest that, as the style in the first book is quite different from the others. (For more details on who really wrote each of the 72 books, see James Keeline's article on the subject .) On Stratemeyer's death in 1930, his daughter Harriet Stratemeyer Adams took over the Stratemeyer Syndicate. The first series of books written/produced by Stratemeyer was The Rover Boys , written under the pseudonym of Arthur M. Winfield. There were 30 volumes, written between 1899 and 1926.

http://www.fun-with-words.com/tom_swifties_history.html

Extractions: Tom Swifties are a relatively recent development of the Wellerism , so we shall first look at what a Wellerism is. Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable defines it thus: Sam Weller in Charles Dickens' "Pickwick Papers" (1836-7) was prone to producing punning sentences such as: ' Out with it, as the father said to the child when he swallowed a farden [farthing] '. This type of verbal play, involving a metaphorical and a punningly literal sense, soon gained popularity under the name of wellerism , and a craze for devising such expressions rapidly sprang up on both sides of the Atlantic. A crude example familiar to children is: ' I see, said the blind man, when he couldn't see at all. A Tom Swifty is a Wellerism in which an adverb relates both properly and punningly to a sentence of reported speech. This is no doubt easier to see from some examples (if you don't understand the pun in any of the examples on this page, you will find explanations at the bottom of the page "The doctor had to remove my left ventricle," said Tom half-heartedly.

Extractions: Lois McMaster Bujold , there are Madeleine L'Engle Ursula K. Le Guin , and Anne McCaffrey (besides lesser-known authors whom I still appreciate, such as Janet Kagan Elizabeth Moon , and Kathy Tyers .) In fact, there are so many female authors that I have come to appreciate that it might almost look as if I'm running some kind of female science fiction authors fan club. Well, that impression is going to get stronger, because I have more authors to share with you. Specifically, C.J. Cherryh. Recently, I was reminded that I hadn't put up reviews of any of her works, even though I deeply appreciate her work. Now, a new ingredient suddenly thrusts itself into this bubbling stew, an Outsider. A member of yet another spacefaring species from outside the territory of the seven species in the Compact. Suddenly, the game gets much more dangerous, as traders are willing to kill to gain an advantage in opening up a new market of unknown size. Pyanfar Chanur is brought face-to-face with the situation when the Outsider stows away on her ship. She has enough problems of her own, and would like nothing more than to be rid of the interference, except that the alien who insists that she hand the Outsider over to him is a kif, a member of the most odious species in the compact.
