1929. Illustrated. Howard Roger Garis wrote under the pen name of Victor Appleton for the Stratemeyer Syndicate. He wrote many novels in the Tom Swift series and other Stratemeyer series. He also wrote and originated the Uncle Wiggily series. This is a description found in an advertisement for the Buddy books: The author presents a distinctly modern juvenile series of stories for boys. Here we observe a really fascinating character-study of an up-to-date young lad, whose exceedingly energetic mind, and whose overflowing youth and vitality, are constantly leading him into new and more tangled situations, from which by wit, courage and luck, he manages to extricate himself in safety. You will more than like Buddy with his carefree ways, his cheerful smile, his boundless enthusiasm, and his overflowing youth. Buddy is certain to linger in your memory long after you have finished these stories. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
