I really liked this book! Nancy Drew was always one of my heroines, and I have my childhood volumes that still bring me great joy at age 60. A few areas of the book dragged just a little with so much detail, but overall, it was a fascinating and educational read. I've been a writer since I was a kid, and this book inspired me to sit down and pick up the pen and legal pad as I fell in love with writing all over again.
This was really an interesting read. It certainly appears to have been meticulously researched, and it helps you to understand not only how Nancy Drew came about, but how the whole juvenile fiction series books worked. I think it could have been a little shorter and been a tad more effective, but all in all, if you're a Nancy Drew fan and want to understand the complicated relationships between the Stratemeyer Syndicate and the actual ghostwriters (primarily Mildred Wirt Benson), this is the book for you. Recommeneded!
This was a very informative, pleasantly readable, and extremely enjoyable treatment of young Nancy Drew and her creators. I found the social history, which some reviewers found excessive, appropriate and nececessary to fully represent the times and the mindsets of those persons being discussed. This information, relative to the history and evolution of the women's movement, juvenile literature, the Stratemeyer Syndicate, and Nancy Drew in particular, made this a more substantial account than one narrowly limited to relating biographical information. Having met Harriet Stratemeyer Adams in her East Orange, N.J. days, I was very pleased to see here here depicted as she came across to me. Since that rang true, I am confident the rest is, too.
When I was pre-teen and my mom would drag me to the grocery store for the weekly shopping, I would sit on the floor right by the book rack, surrepetitiously reading the latest adventures of Nancy Drew and her 'chums' I just couldn't wait for Carolyn Keene to write another one! We didn't have money to buy books, but I that didn't matter -- I had a library card! As I got older, I started to hear rumors that there was no such person as Carolyn Keene -- NO!!! How could that be? Of course she existed -- how could she write about Nancy if she didn't? A MAN? Absolutely not! More than one person? Who is making up these lies? Eventually it started to make sense, but I was never quite sure what to believe. Now I know the truth! One man's vision not only entertained young girls, but reinforced the mores of the day and made being 'nice' a good thing. I enjoyed every word written by Carolyn Keene, and re-read the books I have collected over the years. Now I chuckle at the writing style, and knowing there were several writers involved, am amazed at the continuity of the style itself and the characters involved. Rehak's book will enlighten and entertain you.
When I finished this book, I ruminated on its meaning, and I finally figured out that it told of two remarkably able women, neither of whom really knew the other, who managed to give birth to and nurture one of the key children's characters of our time. Reading the book will give you an appreciation for how these two women were not only ahead of their time, but stood up as independent women in an age where there was little place for them. Harriet was the heir to an interesting scheme of her father's. He employed a number of ghost writers to churn out several best-selling series for boys - among them, The Rover Boys and eventually, The Hardy Boys. In 1929 he decided to create a girl detective, but died in 1930 before Nancy Drew could take off. Harriet, his daughter, took over as editor and CEO of his company. Mildred, one of the ghostwriters, fleshed out the character and was an amazingly prolific and well-rounded person; she became a legendary journalist and pilot. There was some litigation and relatively poor planning on Harriet's part - she took too much credit for work her sister and Mildred had done - but that was trivial compared to the remarkably sustaining work of these two women over the course of 50+ years.
As someone who grew up reading Nancy Drew, I was interested in the history of "Carolyn Keene." This book explains all! Can you imagine anyone writing a mystery book for $150 with no expectation of future royalties? In some ways it was a bit disappointing to read about the miserly way the contract writers were treated, but I didn't ask for - nor want - a candy-coated version! The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five was that it wasn't the kind of book that I really, really couldn't put down. Then again, I don't think I've ever read a biography that engrossed me to that extent. Plus, I was briefly confused when chapters switched from Harriet to Mildred to Edna - but that might have been me rather than the book. I wasn't disappointed nor sorry I bought the book.
Thorough history of the originators of the series. I always knew that Edward had the ideas for the books but didn't realize he died so soon and his daughter took over. Also that ghostwriters were used to write the books and their. Identities were so hush hush. Mildred was the heroine writing all the oldest versions. And the oldest were the best in my opinion. I still have most of them!
I tried so hard to finish this book. I lost interest within the first few chapters. After just reading “The Radium Girls,†I was hoping for quicker story movement and just enough detail to understand. Instead, it felt more like an in depth documentary with all the details. I didn’t know the story of the ghost writers for the syndicate, so I’m glad to be aware of that now. But I still am wishing for a better story flow for this book.
