Collected in the late sixties and early seventies, these stories of a smart, resourceful girl detective who not only didn’t need to be rescued, but often came to help her hapless boyfriend. “Attractive, titian-haired”Nancyis older than her audience (that’s a general rule – kids like to read about someone a bit older than themselves, never younger) and drives a convertible.

First appearing in 1930, fifty-six Nancy Drew novels were produced, written by several writers under the pen-name of Carolyn Keene.
