Josephine Lawrence was an American novelist and journalist. Her works chronicled the lives of common people, with stories often filled with a large cast of bustling characters, emphasizing the everyday lives of children and the elderly.
Lawrence was among the many authors who ghost wrote series books for the Stratemeyer Literary Syndicate of children's books. She wrote 51 such volumes between 1920 and 1935, for series including Betty Gordon, Honey Bunch and the Riddle Club. Afterwards she began writing her own series and stand-alone stories for children, including a radio series for children, ‘Man in the Moon,’ which began broadcasting in October of 1921, and was the first book of stories read to children over the radio.
She later wrote novels for adults covering the troubles of middle class people during the depression.
