Who created Nancy Drew?
The printed author of the Nancy Drew books is Carolyn Keene. However, this is just a pseudonym (a fake name of an author). In fact, the Nancy Drew books were written by various authors. Edward Stratemeyer actually created the characters (using the pseudonym so as not to embarass his family if the books bomed). Since his death, the series and team of authors was carried on by his daughter. For more information about exactly who wrote what book, please visit http://www.series-books.com/nancydrew/nancydrew.html . By the way, the same goes for the Hardy Boys books which were also created by Edward Stratemeyer under the pseudonym Franklin W. Dixon.
