The Nancy Drew Series - Looking Back

  • Mar 1
  • 1 min read

Any Nancy Drew fans here?

I picked up The Clue of the Leaning Chimney at an antique store in Concord, MA a few months ago. It has a copyright date of 1949, which is fun because it is part of the original series. The first Nancy Drew book was published in 1930. The books were then edited and republished in 1959. I think most people around my age read the revised versions that were out in the 1960s and 1970s. I’m pretty sure that’s what my library carried at that time. Well, I’ll be starting it tonight and it will be interesting to see if I can detect (HA!) the editorial changes that were made to the later version. Have any of you read any books from the original series?
