Carolyn Keene was the pseudonym used by Mildred Wirt Benson when she wrote the popular Nancy Drew Mystery series. After her graduation from the University of Iowa, Benson began writing for Edward Stratemeyer. Consequently, Benson has been credited as the author of most of the first Nancy Drew books, but Harriet Stratemeyer Adams wrote the later books and edited the ones written by Benson.
