813.54 REH

Girl A mystery solved? Every female between the ages of 8 and 68 knows Nancy Drew and most already know that Carolyn Keene was not a real person. Nancy was actually the brainchild of children’s book mogul Edward Stratemeyer and was brought to life by two women, Mildred Wirt Benson and Harriet Stratemeyer Adams. Rehak presents a behind the scenes story of the lives of these three and how their life experiences contributed to the making of Nancy. This will make you want to dig out those old Nancy Drews and start reading them again.
