About the Author

Franklin W. Dixon was the pseudonym devised by Edward Stratemeyer for the author of a series of mystery books he was developing which became the Hardy Boys series. The first book, The Tower Treasure, originally published in 1927, was written by Leslie MacFarlane who went on to write 19 more, including #2 through #16. In all, there are 58 titles in the original Hardy Boys Mysteries series published between 1927 and 1979 written by 17 different men and women. Many of the books were later revised, adding another four "Franklin W. Dixons" to the total.

5.0 out of 5 stars Footprints Under The Window, July 29, 2001

A Kid's Review

I like this book because it's really good in the beginning, and terribly good at the end. It's been some time since I read this one, but the plot and action is outstanding on every page. This was my second book, and every part of it was good, but I can't remember most of it. But I reccomend that you read this book for terrific, page-turning action.

3.0 out of 5 stars None, August 16, 2001

By	k (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Footprints Under the Window (Hardy Boys, Book 12) (Hardcover)

The original published in 1933 was the last of the great originals as I define them. The book focused heavily on the title which I liked and presented a fairly good mystery although the ending was not that great (last Chapter). Overall however this was not a bad book, The plot flowed along nicely throughout the early chapters and there were some fairly humerous parts to the book. The Revision I never liked. Much too modern.

Orginal: Rated B Revision: Rated C-

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Hardy Boys Mystery!, July 28, 2000

By A Customer

This book is good for kids. The Hardy Boys protect an ultra-secret camera from spies. It's a classic.
