The Bobbsey Twins in Washington
1919
The Bobbsey Twins are back in an adventure that takes them far from their familiar surroundings and straight into the heart of early twentieth-century America. When the four siblings Nan, Bert, Flossie, and Freddie set off for Washington, D.C., they carry with them the irrepressible curiosity and mischief that have made them beloved by generations of young readers. Before they even reach the capital, trouble finds them in the form of a haystack tumble that leaves the younger twins buried and the whole household in a panic but proves to be merely the opening act in a journey full of unexpected detours. Once in Washington, the Bobbseys encounter the monuments, museums, and marble corridors of the nation's capital through eyes unclouded by adult fatigue, seeing wonder in every column and statue. Written in 1919, this installment captures a moment when travel to the capital felt momentous and when children's voices could fill a story without apology. It endures for readers who want adventure without darkness, sibling bickering that resolves into loyalty, and a window into a more innocent era of American life.
