There has been a lot of debate among historians about which explorers were actually the first to reach the North Pole. What if a pair of plucky youths bore that honor?

Autorenporträt

Roy Rockwood was a pseudonym used by Edward Stratemeyer and the Stratemeyer Syndicate for a variety of adventure books, especially those targeting young boys. The name is most notably remembered for the Bomba the Jungle Boy series, which became one of the popular titles under this pen name. Edward L. Stratemeyer, the mastermind behind the Syndicate, was an American publisher and a prolific writer of children's fiction. Born on October 4, 1862, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Stratemeyer founded the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a publishing company that produced a remarkable volume of children's books. Throughout his career, Stratemeyer wrote or oversaw the production of over 1,300 books, with total sales exceeding 500 million copies worldwide. His work includes famous series such as The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. Stratemeyer's ability to create enduring series was central to his success, and his influence in children's literature remains substantial. He passed away on May 10, 1930, at the age of 67 in Newark, New Jersey, and is buried at Evergreen Cemetery & Crematory in Hillside, New Jersey. His daughter, Harriet Adams, later took over his legacy, continuing the Syndicate's work.
