About the AuthorCarolyn Keene was the pseudonym devised by Edward Stratemeyer for the author of a series of mystery books for girls. In 1929, Stratemeyer hired Mildred Wirt Benson, a 24-year old journalist, to write the first book, The Secret of the Old Clock, featuring a spunky, intelligent, independent teenage heroine named Nancy Drew. The series became so successful that Benson went on to write 22 more before finally stopping in 1953. Benson was prolific, writing 130 books in all before she stopped penning novels in 1960.
