The Hardy Boys: The Secret of the Old Mill (1927)
A prized collector’s edition! In this third installment of the original Hardy Boys series, teenage sleuths Frank and Joe Hardy embark on one of their earliest recorded adventures. When counterfeit money begins circulating in Bayport, the Hardy boys take it upon themselves to investigate. Their journey leads them to the mysterious old mill on the outskirts of town, rumored to hide dangerous secrets within its weathered walls.
Written by Leslie McFarlane under the pseudonym Franklin W. Dixon, this authentic 1927 first edition features the richly detailed narrative and advanced vocabulary that characterized the original Hardy Boys mysteries before their 1960s revisions. At approximately 215 pages, this longer, more complex version includes plot elements and characterizations later simplified in revised editions, offering a fascinating glimpse into how the beloved series first captivated young readers nearly a century ago.
The distinctive orange spine and original cover art make this vintage edition both a nostalgic treasure for those who grew up with the Hardy Boys and a valuable collector’s item for enthusiasts of classic children’s literature.
