Nancy Drew



Nancy Drew is the title and protagonist of a long-running series of juvenile detective books, created by the Stratemeyer syndicate in 1930 as a counterpart to the Hardy Boys. Nancy Drew is a teenage girl who solves mysteries in her small town and elsewhere, and the pseudonym used by the book's many and varied ghostwriters was Carolyn Keene. Over 170 books have been published to date.

Nancy Drew has been adapted to other media including film (beginning in 1938), television (including sharing billing with the Hardys on The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries), and video games (with a long-running PC series produced by Her Interactive).
