Author of the popular Nancy Drew mysteries (1905–2002), under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene. Though several ghostwriters would later use the moniker, Benson is historic as the first ever to write as ‘Carolyn Keene.’ Two items: color satin-finish 6.25 x 8 photo, signed in blue felt tip, “Mildred Wirt Benson also known as Carolyn Keene”; and a one-page ALS, signed Mildred Benson, on her Toledo Blade stationery, dated November 26, 1999. In fine condition, with trimmed edges to photo, with top trimmed edge slightly affecting beginning of signature.
