The Secret of the Old Clock
''The Secret of the Old Clock'' is the first volume in the ''Nancy Drew Mystery Stories'' series written under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene. It was first published on April 28, 1930 and revised in 1959 by Harriet Stratemeyer Adams.
Nancy Drew is an eighteen-year-old high school graduate. Her father, Carson Drew, is a well-known criminal defense lawyer. The Drews reside in River Heights and employ a housekeeper, Hannah Gruen. In early editions, she is depicted as a mere servant; later in the series she becomes more of a family member.
In 2001, the novel ranked 53rd on ''Publishers Weeklys list of the all-time best-selling hardcover children's books in English, having sold about 2.7 million copies.
On January 1, 2033 the Revised Text of ''The Secret Of The Old Clock'' will pass into the Canadian Public Domain, due to Harriet Stratmeyer Adams having died in 1982. However, the original text, as written by Mildred Wirt Benson (who died in 2002), and the character of Nancy Drew, will not enter the Canadian Public Domain until January 1, 2053, due to Canada's life plus 50 years copyright policy. (Canadian Copyright Act, Sections 6.1 & 6.2) But in the United States, the original text will enter the American Public Domain in 2025 (95 years after it was first published), while the revised text will not enter until 2054.
