More About the Author

Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon are the pseudonyms under which many ghostwriters penned the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series, respectively. Both series were created by Edward Stratemeyer, founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate book packaging firm, in the late 1920s and early 1930s.

Stratemeyer's daughter, Harriet, and syndicate writer Mildred Wirt Benson were the two people primarily responsible for bringing the iconic character of Nancy Drew to life in the minds and hearts of millions of readers around the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rachel's Review, April 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Clue in the Old Album (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, No 24) (Hardcover)

The book ,The Clue in the Old Album, is a very intriguing book. When you read the book you never know what will happen next. The main characters are Nancy Drew and a young girl named Rose. Nancy is trying to find Rose's father,Romano, and a special doll that Rose's mother hinted before she died. One thing Mrs. Struthers, Rose's grandmother, never mentioned to Rose is that her father was a gypsy and a violinest. While you read the book many conflicts arise. One of the main conflicts is to find Romano and two gypsies,Nitaka and Zorus. Nitaka and Zorus cause a lot of problems throughout the book. They steal items and threaten Nancy. I enjoyed the book because of the suspense. I never can put the book down. One thing I didn't enjoy is Nancy is always in the right place at the right time. I love this book and I hope you do too.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Book, December 12, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Clue in the Old Album (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, No 24) (Hardcover)

This was my favorite book I have ever read. When you start reading somewhere around the second page it gets very suspenseful. It is so full of suspense that you can't put it down until you finish it. Nancy does not get a lot of help from her 2 cousins, Bess and George, that usually help her on solving cases. There are 3 villains in this book. They are Nitaka, Anton and Mr. Wassel. Mr. Wassel is a purse snatcher, Nitaka steals things and Anton helps Nitaka most of the time. I really liked this book a lot.

I thought the book was very suspenseful and was very well written. I am doing a book jacket for a class project on it. It ill be interesting to see my review on the cover of my prospective of the book. I want to read the rest of the series of the books.
