(Stratemeyer Syndicate) Wikipedia, 22 Mar. 2021: in an entry for the Stratemeyer Syndicate (Created by Edward Stratemeyer, the Stratemeyer Syndicate was a publishing company that produced a number of mystery book series for children, including Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, the various Tom Swift series, the Bobbsey Twins, the Rover Boys, and others. They published and contracted the many pseudonymous authors doing the writing of the series from 1899 through 1987, when the syndicate partners sold the company to Simon & Schuster; In 1930, Edward Stratemeyer died and the Syndicate was inherited by his two daughters, Harriet Stratemeyer Adams and Edna Stratemeyer Squier. Edna sold her share to her sister Harriet within a few years. Harriet Stratemeyer introduced such series as The Dana Girls (1934), Tom Swift Jr., The Happy Hollisters, and many others. In the 1950s, Harriet began substantially revising old volumes in The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew series, updating them to remove outdated cultural elements, racial slurs and stereotypes) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratemeyer_Syndicate> |
