About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Hardy Boys: The Secret of the Caves by Franklin W. Dixon. Read in English by James R. Hedrick. The Hardy boys were sons of a celebrated American detective and from their father learned the particulars of a number of unusual crimes. They were fired with zeal to bring the criminals to justice, and during their hours from school, and during their vacation days, they followed up clues they unearthed themselves — aiding their parent very materially. Stories which are absorbing in the extreme. - Summary from the book jacket This is number seven of the "Original Ten" Hardy Boys books which have been regarded by some as the best of the series and the publisher, the Stratemeyer Syndicate. In this exciting installment, after rescuing a woman from drowning the boys find themselves helping their father in the hunt for her missing brother. Along with their chums, they encounter a number of colorful characters as well as natural impediments in their quest. - Summary by James R. Hedrick
