關於作者:
Franklin W. Dixon Franklin W. Dixon is actually a pseudonym
for any number of ghostwriters who have had the distinction of
writing stories for the Hardy Boys series. The series was
originally created by Edward Stratmeyer in 1926, the same
mastermind of the Nancy Drew detective series, Tom Swift, the Rover
Boys and other characters. While Stratmeyer created the outlines
for the original series, it was Canadian writer Leslie McFarlane
who breathed life to the stories and created the persona Franklin
W. Dixon. McFarlane wrote for the series for over twenty years and
is credited with success of the early collection of stories. As the
series became more popular, it was pared down, the format changed
and new ghostwriters added their own flavor to the stories. Part of
the draw of the Hardy Boys is that as the authors changed, so to
did the times and the story lines. While there is no one true
author of the series, each ghostwriter can be given credit for
enhancing the life of this series and never unveiling that there
really is no Franklin W. Dixon.
