Reviews
"Making use of extensive archival research, Greenwald illuminates the working relationship between ghostwriter Leslie McFarlane and syndicate chief Edward Stratemeyer in fascinating ways--showing how an arrangement that aimed at nothing more than quick pulp profits produced one of the most enduring and influential formulas in the history of children's publishing"--Tim Morris, author of You're Only Young Twice: Children's Literature and Film, "A fascinating slice of publishing history and a lease on life for Franklin W. Dixon fans."-- Booklist, "The Hardy Boys turn 75 next year, still living at home and enrolled in Bayport High. They are still well-scrubbed Boy Scout types from the 1920s, with personalities that barely extend beyond the color of their hair. And their books still sell more than a million copies a year." -- New York Times, "A fascinating slice of publishing history and a lease on life for Franklin W.

Synopsis
The author of the Hardy Boys Mysteries was, as millions of readers know, Franklin W. Dixon. Except there never was a Franklin W. Dixon. He was the creation of Edward Stratemeyer, the savvy founder of a children's book empire that also published the Tom Swift, Bobbsey Twins, and Nancy Drew series.The Secret of the Hardy Boys: Leslie McFarlane and the Stratemeyer Syndicate recounts how a newspaper reporter with dreams of becoming a serious novelist first brought to life Joe and Frank Hardy, who became two of the most famous characters in children's literature.Embarrassed by his secret identity as the author of the Hardy Boys books, Leslie McFarlane admitted it to no one-his son pried the truth out of him years later. Having signed away all rights to the books, McFarlane never shared in the wild financial success of the series. Far from being bitter, however, late in life McFarlane took satisfaction in having helped introduce millions of children to the joys of reading.Commenting on the longevity of the Hardy Boys series, the New York Times noted, "Mr. McFarlane breathed originality into the Stratemeyer plots, loading on playful detail."Author Marilyn Greenwald gives us the story of McFarlane's life and career, including for the first time a compelling account of his writing life after the Hardy Boys. A talented and versatile writer, McFarlane adapted to sweeping changes in North American markets for writers, as pulp and glossy magazines made way for films, radio, and television. It is a fascinating and inspiring story of the force of talent and personality transcending narrow limits., The author of the Hardy Boys Mysteries was, as millions of readers know, Franklin W. Dixon.
