Main article: Nancy Drew Mystery Stories

The first fifty-six titles in the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories series were published between 1930 and 1979 by Grosset & Dunlap. Beginning in 1959, prior volumes were revised and shortened; entire plots were sometimes changed. As many as five authors are known to have collaborated on some of the volumes: the writer of the original outline, the ghostwriter of the manuscript, the editor, the writer of a new outline for a revised story, and the author of the revised version of the story.
