	Salon Mothers Who Think What would Nancy do?
		This was the late '70s and early '80s -- both Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys (in whom we had no interest) had television series, and new episodes of their adventures were still being written.
		But in 1959, Harriet Stratemeyer Adams, who inherited Nancy after the death of her father in 1932, decided that if Nancy was going to continue to appeal to the daughters of her original readers, she needed some freshening up.
		Nancy appeared in 1930, the brainchild of Edward Stratemeyer, whose novel factory (with its stable of ghostwriters) had been cranking out children's serial fiction since 1905.

	Nancy Drew
		The complicated mysteries of the Nancy Drew writing factory was revealed by several literary scholars in Carolyn Stewart Dyer and Nancy Tillman Romalov's anthology "Rediscovering Nancy Drew." (University of Iowa Press, 1995).
		Truly a factory style of book publishing, the Nancy Drew stories would be outlined and written in a few weeks then heavily edited to ensure uniformity of character and tone, as well as conformity to a precise formula--20 chapters and about 180 pages.
		Although the Nancy Drew series was intended mainly for young girls, many grown men (including myself) can recall reading the books just as avidly as their sisters.

	Nancy Drew: Curse of Blackmoor Manor review
		No, you are entering the world of Nancy Drew and her adventure “Curse of Blackmoor Manor”, a departure into the esoteric, with a centuries old legacy of alchemy and guardian chimeras, werewolves and hidden treasure.
		Although this adventure is much darker in nature than most of the previous Nancy Drew games, there are still moments of humor, generally gained through completing an action which the game tells you is risky, and then utilizing the second chance feature.
		Nancy learns of the ancestor who was burned at the stake for witchcraft, the rumors of the wild beast of the moors, and gradually uncovers many stories of the somewhat eccentric manor dwellers in times past.

	Geoffrey Lapin on Mildred Wirt Benson
		On the average of two volumes per year, all original Drew titles by her have been rewritten to remove what the Syndicate called "objectionable material." The character of Nancy Drew also underwent a dramatic change: the strong-willed teen was having her personality diluted, causing her to lose her characteristic independence.
		The arrival of Nancy Drew to television had prompted the Syndicate's attorneys to "remind" Wirt that should she make any claim to the Drew character, "legal or equitable action including an action for damages" would be taken against her.
		Checking under these two names and her other pseudonyms, I was able to compile a list of over fifty titles, not including the Nancy Drew books.

	Nancy Drew
		Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys were the brainchild of Edward Stratemeyer, who produced more than 1,200 novels in 125 series, including The Rover Boys, Tom Swift and the Bobbsey Twins.
