Autorenporträt
Victor Appleton was a pen name used by the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a publishing organization that created popular children's book series in the early 20th century. The name was primarily associated with the Tom Swift series, which was published from 1910 to 1941 and became iconic for its portrayal of a young, inventive protagonist. The Tom Swift series followed the adventures of Tom, a resourceful and daring young inventor, who used his innovative creations to tackle challenges, often involving cutting-edge technology and thrilling escapades. In addition to the Tom Swift books, Victor Appleton was also used for several other series, including the Motion Picture Chums (1913-1916), Moving Picture Boys (1913-1922), and Movie Boys (1926-1927), which catered to the growing popularity of the film industry. These series focused on the adventures of young characters involved in the world of cinema, blending the excitement of early movie-making with the classic adventure format. While the Tom Swift books are the most well-known, the Victor Appleton name played a significant role in shaping early 20th-century children's literature, providing young readers with tales of adventure, innovation, and heroism.
