Description
Although these copies are from the late 1940s or early 1950s, the texts of both books, numbers one and two in an original series of nearly forty, are the original. It is difficult to overstate the impact the Hardy Boys books had on America’s youth, with annual sales even today still approaching one million copies, a spin-off for girls with the Nancy Drew series, multiple television series, and a new book series. The books have also been translated into twenty-five languages.
