(Also, yes, there is a contingent of fans who prefer the Nancy / Frank Hardy ship, and they deserve to be acknowledged as well.) Personally, I think it’s astonishing that the authors have successfully kept the “will they won’t they” tension alive for almost 100 years at this point. Ned/Nancy is one of the longest-running ships in the game, as the somewhat aloof Nancy cleverly keep the puppy-doggish Ned on his toes, never making a definite commitment beyond their next scheduled date. Following this, Ned appears (or is at least mentioned) in practically all Nancy’s adventures, which number in the hundreds.
This book was first published in 1932, and it was subsequently rewritten and reissued in 1962 during the general overhaul the Nancy Drew series had around that time.įor many fans of Nancy, The Clue in the Diary is most memorable because it introduces the character of Ned Nickerson, a charming, dark-haired college man whose unrestrained attraction for the young girl sleuth gives him the role of reliable date / investigating partner. The Clue in the Diary is the seventh Nancy Drew mystery, and the last of the original set of stories written by Mildred Wirt Benson, the series’ most famous and popular ghostwriter.
