Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Ellery Queen is
both a fictional character and a pseudonym used by two American cousins
from Brooklyn, New York: Daniel Nathan, alias Frederic Dannay (October
20, 1905-September 3, 1982) and Manford (Emanuel) Lepofsky, alias
Manfred Bennington Lee (January 11, 1905-April 3, 1971), to write
detective fiction. In a successful series of novels that covered 42
years, Ellery Queen served as both author's name and that of the
detective-hero. During the 1930s and much of the 1940s, that
detective-hero was possibly the best known American fictional detective.
Movies, radio shows, and television shows have been based on their
works.
