Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue and Their Shetland Pony By Laura Lee Hope, the author of the Bobbsey Twins books. The Bunny Brown stories were eagerly welcomed by the children from about five to ten years of age in the first quarter of the 20th century. This title was published in 1916 ~ I sold this volume years ago and just found the image on my hard drive. The lively doings of inquisitive little Bunny Brown and his smart, trustful sister Sue provided hours of entertainment.Children don't look like this anymore, do they? Now they look like miniature adults. I miss smocked dresses and romper sets. Oh well, I'm not in charge of the juvenile fashion industry. I do think socks at the seashore look rather odd though. The illustrator Florence England Nosworthy didn't think so, I guess it wasn't proper to go barefoot back then. I doubt that anyone would nickname a boy Bunny nowadays. I never read these books as a child, did you?
