Roy Rockwood was a house fictional name made use by the Stratemeyer Syndicate for young boy’s adventure stories. The pen name is mostly well-recognized for the Bomba the Jungle Boy and Great Marvel series.

Here are some of the Stratemeyer Syndicate’s serials: Deep Sea; Great Marvel –Volumes 1-5 and 8 ghostwritten by Howard R. Garis; Speedwell Boys; Dave Dashaway; Dave Fearless; Bomba, the Jungle Boy – a number ghostwritten by John William Duffield.

A few of these series were also ghostwritten by Leslie McFarlane and W. Bert Foster.

Edward Stratemeyer had first made use of the pen name, Roy Rockwood, for the story The Wizard of the Sea; or a Trip Under the Ocean, issued by the Mershon Company in 1900.

Edward L. Stratemeyer was a United States publisher and author of stories for little kids. He was among the highly successful writers internationally, publishing more than 1,300 copies himself, marketing more than 500 million replications. He also wrote countless popular fictitious book series for children, such as The Rover Boys, The Bobbsey Twins, Tom Swift, The Hardy Boys, and Nancy Drew series, a number of which sold millions of replications and are still in print at present. On Stratemeyer’s legacy, Fortune wrote: “As oil had its Rockefeller, literature had its Stratemeyer.”

As he grows up, Edward was passionate about the works of Horatio Alger and William T. Adams, authors who wrote something about a person from being poor to getting rich. These tales immensely inspired him.
