My daughters never really warmed to Nancy the way I did--could be they had so many other book choices.JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-86798926262518226352014-03-25T06:42:30.468-07:002014-03-25T06:42:30.468-07:00Here's another Nancy Drew fan!

I started reading them when I was about 10 or so, as we had a whole box in the loft that my sisters had been given some years earlier, and then I was given some more. I still remember playing Nancy, Bess and George. (I was usually Bess, seeing as how I was the chubby one.) We even had a period where we tried writing our own stories. Good times!<br /><br />In Swedish, though, Nancy was for some reason given the name Kitty. All the other names seem to be intact, so I don't know what that one was changed. When the 100th book came out (it harks back to the same clock as in the very first book), a friend and I each won a copy from the local bookstore. :)<br /><br />Here's the cover I remember: http://flickanobockerna.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/kitty-som-detektiv.png :)Traxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13249884092846934427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-4154344866716339642014-03-24T16:53:22.747-07:002014-03-24T16:53:22.747-07:00@Kaye - Oh cool!

Probably never should have gotten rid of them.Kaye Dacushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04187774900100851982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-81949040400246520482014-03-24T16:33:20.856-07:002014-03-24T16:33:20.856-07:00@Patti - That is SO cool!

I think the 30s and 50s covers are my favorite, though those yellow hardbacks have become iconic too. And I love how this new release hearkens back to the 30s styles with fresh colors and design!<br /><br />@Kristin - OMG! Read girl, READ!! :) Love that you're collecting some of those vintage editions too. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986319237275869540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1319032275293010502.post-65486866053868362392014-03-24T16:30:07.266-07:002014-03-24T16:30:07.266-07:00I own the first two Nancy Drew books, but I've...I own the first two Nancy Drew books, but I've yet to read them or any from the series!

I own nearly all the books in the series (I have since passed them on to my daughter, who has them boxed up and hopes to pass them on to a daughter of her own one day).<br /><br />The bottom cover is the one I own, but I have to say, the top one is my absolute fave. I love the 30's fashions.<br /><br />Patti https://www.blogger.com/profile/12931836399684850729noreply@blogger.com
