Nancy Drew is the world's all time best teen detective since 1930. She has sold over 200 million books in fourteen different languages. Since Nancy's mother died when she was young, she lives with her father and her loving housekeeper, Hannah. Nancy's father is a well-known and respected attorney. Often times, Carson needs his daughter's brilliant mind and clever schemes to crack his difficult cases. Along with Nancy, Bess and George, Nancy's best friends who happen to be cousins, also play a major role in Nancy Drew's famous stories. Although Nancy has been around for about 75 years, she still remains 16-18 years of age in each exciting mystery. There have been more modern versions of Nancy Drew written by people who have taken on the pseudonym that was created years ago by Edward Stratemeyer , but in my opinion, the old stories remain the best. Both men and women have used the pen name to keep Nancy Drew alive, and even better, she WILL be alive in the all new Nancy Drew movie.
