There were several different Camp Fire Girls series of novels, from numerous publishers. [2] One historian wrote that, in the early 1900s, all publishers specializing in cheap children's novels had commissioned either individual titles or an entire series of Camp Fire Girls books. [3]
The novels published by A. L. Burt stated they were the only series of stories for Camp Fire Girls endorsed by the officials of the Camp Fire Girls' Organization. [4]
The novels published by Goldsmith Publishing Company, and written under the pen name of Margaret Penrose, were repackaged reprints of The Radio Girls series published by Cupples & Leon. [5] Goldsmith described their book series by stating: "These stories take in the activities of several bright girls who become interested in all present day adventures." [6]
