Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - If you loved Frank and Joe, you'll love this book
I stumbled on this 1976, and now out-of-print ,book at the public library. Since I'm one of those Hardy Boys "buffs" as described in McFarlane's book, I decided to give it a read. I was not disappointed, and I don't think anyone who enjoyed the adventures of the Hardy Boys will be either. McFarlane was the ghost writer for the very first 20 Hardy Boy books. Writing under the familiar to all of us boys pseudonym, F.W. Dixon, McFarlane quickly wrote the stories from outlines provided by Edward Stratemeyer. Today the Hardy Boys series remains the most popular series of juvenile adventure/detective books ever.

The Ghosts of the Hardy Boys is actually an autobiography of McFarlane and covers more than just his experiences ghosting the Hardy Boys books. Turns out he did a lot more things, but his main "claim to fame" was always as the author of the Hardy Boys.

The book isn't very long, and though maybe not as "easy a read" as the Hardy Boys, it is an easy and enjoyable experience. I defintely recommend it for those who remember fondly the exploits of the brothers Hardy in Baytown.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - A Must-Read For Any Hardy Boys Fan!
Leslie McFarlane was the ghostwriter of the early Hardy Boys books and he was also a journalist, pulp writer, novelist and screenwriter.
In addition to all the details behind his writing of the Hardy Boys books, he recounts tales of Canada and his early reporting days on various newspapers in a humorous style that is a joy to read.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Fascinating account by true author of 20 Hardy Boys books
Highly recommended reading for anyone interested in the Hardy Boys. The author wrote some twenty volumes (for $125 each ! ) in the extremely popular series.
