05/29/2002 Entry: "Nancy Drew Where Are You"

There's a must-read Mildred Wirt Benson post over at Utopia With Cheese. I read a lot of my mom's Nancy Drew books growing up. I assume they all featured the despunked Nancy. It's pretty disturbing book could be rewritten like this. Don't miss that Benson got paid $125.00 per book with no royalties

For the library angle check out The Ghost of Nancy Drew. Seems at least some of the CNN orbit was cribbed from here.

There's also a worthwhile Salon article that covers some other reasons for rewriting.
