Title: Nancy Drew ... and much much more
Product review: This is an amazing book that weaves the history of the Girl Sleuth into the fabric of American society, showing the impact the series had on women's culture and the impact our culture had on it! It delves deeply into the actual creation and writing of the mystery series, with emphasis on the Stratemeyer family who gave birth to her, as well as the other ghost writers who served as surrogate mothers (and fathers!) to Nancy.But it goes far beyond just a history of the book series. It also gives fascinating insights into the mores of the day, from the 30s all the way to the 80s. I found it fast moving, interesting, and extremely well written. Highly recommended!!!
