Carolyn Keene

“... success is ninety per cent perspiration and only ten per cent inspiration!”

“I've always felt that the place to diet is in one's own home, not in someone else's.”
Carolyn Keene, U.S. writer
(1892 - 1982)
Real name: Harriet Stratemeyer. Carolyn Keene was the pseudonym of the writers who produced the Nancy Drew books as well as the Dana Girls books and a few spin-offs. However, Harriet Stratemeyer Adams (daughter of the series originator, Edward Stratemeyer) wrote these two books (as well as many others). Thus, these birth/death dates are hers.
