Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

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.

The Ivory Charm Applewood

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2010

Verified Purchase

The Mystery of the Ivory Charm is part of the Nancy Drew Series begun in the 1930's. This particular book is a reproduction of the original. I love the mystery but am particularly delighted with the history portrayed in all the original Nancy Drews. Kids today will not understand Nancy not having access to a cell phone. She uses an electric torch instead of a flashlight and puts chains on her tires when it rains because many of the roads are dirt roads. Was 1930 all that long ago! Great read and I highly recommend these for girls today!

Nancy Drew is a Great Role Model for Young Girls!

I grew up reading Nancy Drew books and recently started reordering them for my niece. We read them together when I babysit her and she absolutely loves them. Its amazing to think that these books began in the 30's yet they are still so relevant for today's youth. Not only is Nancy a great female character, its also great that for the most part its her female friends that are helping her. Its also great to see a crime novel for kids that doesn't have blood, gore, or people dying.

I read this series when I was a young girl, and now I'm passing them along to my 10 year old daughter. Who doesn't love a good mystery? The "new" Nancy Drew series aren't nearly as good as the originals, imho. The hardback covers make it possible for us to pass them down to the next generation, I full on expect my daughter to pass these along to her children some day. They are classics!

One of my favorites, secret openings in the cliff, secret compartments in the locket, Life seemed more interesting back in the 1930's. This is one of my childhood favorites.

This book is awesome! I think lots of young readers who love mysteries and figuring them out before it is finished should read the series. I love it so much! I am only on the 14th though.

Nancy Drew.

This book is a little far fetched but that is only to be expected in the teen detectives adventures. It is quite a good story with all the better characters and the usual happy ending.
