While trying to help a friend out of a difficulty, Nancy has a perilous experience in and around a deserted bungalow, from which only her bravery and quick thinking save her.
Reading these books makes me wish or fantasize that I could be more like Nancy. She’s sweet and personable, making friends almost everywhere she goes and dresses smartly in the latest fashion. Her father Carson Drew is a sharp, handsome lawyer including his daughter in all his legal actions. I also adore the 1930s, that snapshot in time has always appealed to me with its classic movies and music and seems like a simpler time; although, that could be due to Leave It To Beaver reruns. Nancy’s latest mystery, The Bungalow Mystery is a very easy, fun read that I thoroughly enjoyed.
This sounds like a funny book and I like the look of the cover
I love the old covers, they're much more interesting.
The first thing I noticed was you got the original cover! About 7 of my original Nancy Drew Mysteries survived, none with the cover intact. I so loved reading these as a kid, and fantasized about owning a powder blue roadster with a rumble seat. I actually pulled down The Sign Of The Twisted Candles last month for "comfort reading." I spent many lovely hours in the company of Nancy, George and Bess. And I was totally in love with Carson Drew.
I love Nancy Drew—I grew up reading them and acting like I was on adventures with The Hardy Boys!
We are so insync right now, even tho we are a generation apart. I loved Nancy and have all the original yellow hard bound books, several cover designs and some with dust jackets.
I especially liked the original author, Mildred Wirt Benson, who wrote the first 23 books.
Grad– Isn't Carson Drew just the dreamiest? I am totally crushing. The covers are nice too…
Felicia– I never read the Hardy Boys growing up. That will be a series I will have to explore.
Kim– With subjects like Nancy Drew and Frank Sinatra age doesn't always seem to matter. Isn't that what defines a classic?
