Nancy Drew Readers

I have also always loved Nancy Drew, and I am now currently collecting the very very old editions of the books, back from the '30s and '40s. Preferably pre-WWII. They are pretty expensive but lots of times you can get pretty lucky finding them for affordable prices on ebay! And in case you didn't know, the earlier books are very different from the newer ones. They all almost got completely re written in the '50s because it was decided that the older ones were racist and old fashioned. But if you can get hold of an older one, you should read it! In my opinion they were much better written back then. And longer, too. They were usually over 200 pages. The illustrations were also a lot more detailed and were on glossy paper.

I got hooked to Nancy Drew when I was in elementary through high school. I would even read in bed even in dim light. I could not part from one mystery book until I have read everything in it. I can even still remember some of the characters there even though it's been years since I haven't read one. There was Ned, Nancy's boyfriend, which I fancy to be so handsome. I even got scolded by my teacher one time when while she was discussing something in class she caught me reading a Nancy Drew book. While reading,I felt like I was Nancy Drew myself.

I used to read Nancy Drew when I was in school. At that time the cost of books were very cheap and also lots of second hand books were available. I also had membership in the children's libraries at that time. Now a days the cost of the books are very high and also the cost of the second hand books are also very high. I wish I could read more Nancy Drew books. I had a huge collection of Nancy Drew, Famous Five, Hardy Boys books before. Now I dont have any of them. I am thinking of making a new library and buy more books with extra money I get. I think lot sof people like me loves reading Nancy Drew and Hardy boys no matter what age they are.

Sixteen? There are works of her when she was ten or something - Nancy Drew Notebooks. But i've read only from when she was eighteen (her first mystery in the series) and of course ND Notebooks...they're really cute in a way. And yes, even now i read ND mystries, especially the latest ones. The plot usually is more complicated than the earlier ones. Plus they tell you new things happening around. One was about cooking classes in a 5-star hotel they were vacationing at(there were even things about how to identify poisonous mushrooms), another was about track horse racing(about rings and riders and how to train horses for the Prix and stuff), another was about bike marathons and yet another about ND becoming a star in a movie...the list goes on and on. Being informative is really intresting...it looks like the author had done a lot of study on a topic to write the book AND make a mystery out of it.

I first started reading Nancy Drew when I was in 6th grade.. I wasnt able to finish reading the whole series, thats why I dream of buying the complete set for my collection.. I was able to read some of the new Nancy Drew mysteries which was on paperback when I was in high school.. and my favorite was the one where she teamed up with the Hardy Boys..

nancy drew was my childhood hero bhavesh80! i still have a few of my nancy drew books! my favorites were the secret in the old clock, and the mystery of the lilac inn! i recently read a book about the writers of the series which was interesting and compared the series within revisions, for example: art and fashions for the characters throughout the series, or the way the books looked and were presented, and even that some of the language(slang, etc) was changed throughout the years! as i grew older i graduated from nancy to agatha christie, but nancy will always h ave a special place in my heart!

i've been a big nancy drew fan myself , , i just wish i am witty as she is , , you know, , the kind of girl that thinks fast, moves quick and really has a keen eye for everything , , how i wish i was born with those kind of skills, , ,

Though the author Carolyn Keene is no more, she deserves applause for creating a character that will speak her name for generations.

When I was young I had read a few nancy drew books and I did like them. I was at the library the other day and found a nancy drew movie. It is for young adult I would say. The character in the story probably in real life wasent older then 18 at the most. My daughter and my son and I watched this movie and my daughter loved it. She wants to be just like nancy drew now.

Nancy drew has been my favourite since my school days. I love her. 1930, that is a long time to be around. I hope she is still around for that many years more.
