Synopsis
A collection of essays that focuses its critical sights on the figure of the girl sleuth, made famous by Nancy Drew but also characterized by other famous detectives like Cherry Ames, Trixie Belden, Linda Carlton, and even in contemporary media by Veronica Mars and Hermione Granger of the ""Harry Potter"" series., This collection of essays focuses on the girl sleuth, made famous by Nancy Drew but also characterized by other famous detectives like Cherry Ames, Trixie Belden, Linda Carlton, and even in contemporary media by Veronica Mars and Hermione Granger of the Harry Potter series. Topics include the disputed origins of Nancy Drew and the Stratemeyer Syndicate; the intertwined relationships between the Syndicate and Nancy Drew 's many ghostwriters; the distinct and evolving textual identities of the Cherry Ames series; the adaptation of the traditional archetype by contemporary girl detectives like Veronica Mars, Lulu Dark, and Ingrid Levin-Hill; and the ways in which Harry Potter 's Hermione Granger, while a central character in the series, is often at odds with the male-centric, fantasy-genre world of Harry Potter himself. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

    This is my favorite seller. She was kind enough to message me with some really important advice, and was able to locate the exact items that I wished for to add to my prized collection of Applewood edition Nancy Drews (which are getting rarer and rarer to locate fully intact with dust covers as I go up in the series). Excellent service with a personal touch. Items arrived in pristine condition in a very timely manner. (Also, I love the cheeky name she chose!)
