__WIKIA_BANNER__ The Mystery of Cabin Island is the eighth book in The Hardy Boys: Original series. It was first published in 1929 by Grosset & Dunlap and updated and revised in 1966. A candidate for the revised edition was written by Anne Shultes but Anne Hagen, the editor for the Stratemeyer Syndicate rejected it and asked Andrew Svenson to write an alternative. Reading The Mystery of Cabin Island has become an annual Christmas tradition for many readers, since this is one of the only and earliest Holiday themed Hardy Boys stories.
