Happy birthday to Mildred Benson

Happy birthday to writer Mildred Benson, aka Carolyn Keene, who was born on this day in 1905.

To celebrate, we're rounding up all the Benson/Keene/Nancy Drew coverage we've shared on the blog over the past few years — in addition to a piece we swear we included but cannot find: the University of Iowa Libraries' deep dive into Benson's long life (she died at age ninety-seven).

Enjoy this trip down memory lane!
