Brightside Library
Fleetwing Library
Winter Night Series
Skylark Series
Bluebird Series
Published by Dodd, Mead & Co.
All of these volumes and series were published by Dodd, Mead &
Co.
In 1880 the Brightside Library was introduced with five titles. In 1881
the Fleetwing Series was introduced with five titles. In 1882 these two
series were discontinued and the ten volumes were combined into the
Winter Night Series. In 1883 these ten books made up the Skylark Series.
In 1884 this set of ten books was called the Bluebird Series.
There is nothing within the books that identifies which series any
individual book is part of. The boxes which these sets originally came
in noted the series name. Unfortunately I have not seen any of these
boxes.
Here are the book lists with the presumed formats.
