When Rohan Campbell was growing up in Alberta, the Hardy Boys were his go-to “cabin books.”
The earliest version of the sleuthing brothers usually had them solving mysteries of the non-violent and non-lethal variety. The books have proven to be wholesome distractions for generations of young boys dating back to the late 1920s. For a youthful Campbell, they were reliable entertainment when stuck in cabins not yet equipped with internet.
