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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Good For An ND Paperback!, March 11, 2000

This review is from: The Key in the Satin Pocket (Nancy Drew No. 152) (Paperback)

I love old Nancy Drew mysteries but I was a little wary to read a paperback, I've read a few an not liked them, too "modern" for me. But the Key in the Satin Pocket was something else! It was kind of like reading an old yellow-spine copy. A very exciting story with a lot of flavor. Nancy finds a key to an old safe-deposit box with a treasure inside, but can't find the missing heir to the contents. Can she outsmart a crooked thief? Read to find out. I think you'll love it!

This review is from: The Key in the Satin Pocket (Nancy Drew No. 152) (Paperback)

I have read almost all of the Nancy Drew books for a long time and this one was awesome! I loved the whole story and could not put the book down. When Nancy goes to an old vintage building, she buys a beautiful blue satin jacket and finds an old brass key sewn in the pocket. Others are dying to get their hands on her key, and this could kill Nancy! Make sure you read this book to find out what happens!
