Welcome to Fadedpage.com!
Faded Page is an archive of eBooks that are provided completely free to everyone. The books are produced by volunteers all over the world, and we believe they are amongst the highest quality eBooks anywhere. Every one has been scanned, run through OCR software, proofed, formatted and assembled extremely carefully, using hundreds of volunteer hours. These books are public domain in Canada (because we follow the Canadian copyright laws), but if you are in another country, you should satisfy yourself that you are not breaking the copyright laws of your own country by downloading them. You are free to do whatever you like with these books, but we hope that mainly...you will enjoy reading them.

Young readers in the first half of the 20th century devoured books by Franklin W. Dixon, Carolyn Keene, Laura Lee Hope, and Victor Appleton, among others. What these readers didn’t know was that these authors were pseudonyms created by the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a well-oiled publishing machine founded by Edward Stratemeyer. Stratemeyer himself wrote many of the first books in the series to establish their tone and formula.
Faded Page has recently released new ebook versions of some of the Nancy Drew novels by Carolyn Keene that fall under public domain (for example, Nancy’s Mysterious Letter and the revised edition of The Secret of the Old Clock). Franklin W. Dixon, meanwhile, didn’t just write Hardy Boys stories: he wrote about aviation in the Ted Scott Flying Stories (such as Lost at the South Pole). And you may know Laura Lee Hope as the author of the Bobbsey Twins, but she also wrote stories about the Outdoor Girls, such as The Outdoor Girls at Foaming Falls. Finally, Victor Appleton is best known for his books about Tom Swift: we have a few of those, including Tom Swift and His Chest of Secrets.
