The Sleuth is a publication of The Nancy Drew Sleuths. The majority of the issue features Nancy Drew - vintage and modern - and each issue briefly focuses on several other similar series as well.
The Sleuth features articles by mostly adult collectors, scholars and fans. It is not written in the style of children's books for kids--so we'd recommend subscribers be at least 14 and older.
