A List of English & American Sequel Stories 9lOo. UC-NRLF B ^ bi3 aia A LIST OF ENGLISH & AMERICAN SEQUEL STORIES ^' Compiled by THOMAS ALDRED PUBLISHED BY THE LIBRARY ASSISTANTS* ASSOCIATION 1922 ^rice 6s. net ~ 9 ^ m A LIST OF ENGLISH & AMERICAN EQUEL STORIES Compiled by THOMAS ALDRED PUBLISHED BY THE LIBRARY ASSISTANTS' ASSOCIATION 1922 London : Tbuslove and Bbay. Ltd., Printers, West Norwood, S.E. 27. PREFACE Many years ago I compiled a comparatively short list of sequel stories for staff reference purposes, and the list was subsequently published in The Library World (1900-1). Several librarians who found the old list useful have asked me at various times to bring it up-to-date, and I have at last found leisure to accede to the request and to add a large number of stories not listed in the original list. In order to serve useful purposes I have included (a) Stories in which the same character appears in more than one book ; (h) Series forming a continuous narrative of events ; (c) Trilogies and the like ; (d) A few other notes. The material has been drawn from very many sources, some being of doubtful reliability, and in the absence of other data has had to be used without confirmation. It is probable that there are some errors of commission and, on account of the difficulty of obtaining information of sequence-stories, many more of omission. I should therefore be glad if corrections and notes of additions were sent to me direct. To keep down the cost of printing, initials only are given of fore-names ; dates of publication and names of publishers are omitted for the same season. The missing particulars are easily obtainable from the usual reference works. Contrary to code rule, compound-names are entered under the latter part of the names. Writers using pen-names are entered under the pseudonyms with no cross reference from the real name to the pseudonym. The whole of the profits arising from the sale of this reference list will be applied to the Benevolent and Orphan Fund of the Library Assistants' Association. T. Aldred.

  • The Ghost of Nancy Drew
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Iowa Research Online The Ghost of Nancy Drew GEOFFREY S. LAPIN "It would be a shame if all that money went to the Tophams! They will fly higher than ever!" Thus begins the first book in a series of titles that has whetted the literary appetites of young readers for well over fifty years. The Secret of the Old Clock by Carolyn Keene was to set the tone of juvenile adventure stories that is still leading young folks into the joys of reading the standard classics of literature. Carolyn Keene has been writing the series books chronicling the adventures of Nancy Drew and the Dana Girls since 1929. With over 175 titles published, the author is still going strong, presently producing over fifteen new books each year. Her titles have been translated into at least twelve different lan­ guages, and sales records state that the volumes sold number in the hundreds of millions. More than the mystery of the endurance of such unlikely literature is the question of who Carolyn Keene is and how one person could possibly be the author of such a record number of "best-sellers." Numerous literary histories offer conflicting information concerning the life of Ms Keene. The one common fact is that there exists no actual person by that name. Carolyn Keene is a pseudonym for the author of the series books. Carolyn Keene was Edward Stratemeyer. Another source says that she was Harriet Adams. Yet others say that she was Edna Squire, Walter Karig, James Duncan Lawrence, Nancy Axelrad, Margaret Scherf, Grace Grote, and a plethora of others.

  • The Mystery of the Vanishing Sleuth: the Representation of Nancy Drew in Cover
    The Mystery of the Vanishing Sleuth: The Representation of Nancy Drew in Cover Design from 1930 to 2016 by Leah Bailey A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Media and Communication Middle Tennessee State University May 2017 Dr. Jane Marcellus, Chair Dr. Katherine Foss Dr. Jan Quarles I would like to dedicate this thesis to my loving family who has supported me through the years in all my endeavors. i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Much thanks and appreciation to my thesis committee for all of their help and guidance. I would like to especially thank my thesis chair, Dr. Jane Marcellus, for all of her assistance. ii ABSTRACT This thesis uses a semiotic analysis to examine the representation of the character Nancy Drew on the covers of twelve books in nine series published between 1930 and 2016. By studying the covers of books in the Nancy Drew series up to present day, the goal of this thesis is to discover how meaning is constructed through the cover design. In addition, this thesis examines how a longstanding female character was represented in literary media marketed to youth since 1930. Focusing on the construction of Nancy Drew as well as themes present on the book covers, this thesis argues that the representation of Nancy Drew as a strong and independent woman transformed over time to a much weaker and dependent representation. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF TABLES……………………………………………………………………....V CHAPTER ONE: Introduction………………………………………………………......1 The Importance of Book Covers………………………………………………....3
