MILDRED WIRT BENSON BIBLIOGRAPHY

MILDRED WIRT/CAROLYN KEENE/NANCY DREW/PENNY PARKER are only some of the names we associate with Mildred Wirt Benson, who wrote dozens of juvenile mystery books for boys and girls such as the Nancy Drews, Dana Girls, Penny Parkers and so many more.

Here is a bibliography of all the titles Millie wrote using both pseudonyms and her own names. Click on the photos to enlarge.


HARDY BOYS BOOKS FORMATS

ORIGINAL HARDY BOYS FORMATS SHEET

This is the original Hardy Boys formats sheet used throughout the 1980s by collectors before the self-appointed guru guide makers came up with their totally speculative and bibliographically incorrect  versions of guide books, based on the theme first set up here.

JUDY BOLTON SNOW MANSION

JUDY BOLTON'S FARRINGDON-PETT MANSION IN WINTER

This shows the Judge Lewis House in Coudersport PA, which was used as the Farringdon-Pett mansion in the Judy Bolton Mystery Series by Margaret Sutton, who grew up in the northern PA town. The house is visited yearly by fans on the annual Judy Bolton Day held in early October, and it is currently being renovated into a Bed and Breakfast Inn, hopefully ready to accomodate guests soon.

This fabulous Victorian red brick home is located on Route 6 North just east of the town center, and it is one of the few remaining homes of its type in the northern tier of the state, most of them built in the late 1800s by the local tycoon lumber barons.
