Carolyn Keene is no more

Well, actually Mildred Augustine Wirt Benson, the first writer to be commisioned as Carolyn Keene by the Startmeyer Syndicate, is no more. Didn't care much for Nancy Drew, but if you want to know more I would recommend reading The Mysterious Case of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys, which, if you reside in the US, may still be found in the clearance bins of the nearest BORDERS. {source: Chris}
