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 Best Nancy Drew Book!, August 21, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Strange Message in the Parchment (The Nancy Drew Mysteries) (Paperback)

I absolutely loved this book! It has to be my favorite book in the series! I couln't put it down! There was a shepherd the quoted Scripture, and it was really fun trying to decipher the secret of the parchment with Nancy. I would recommend this book to everyone who loves the Nancy Drew books. There was a lot of mystery and adventure... I love Nancy Drew and I don't think that I'll find a better Nancy Drew book then this one.
