Famous quotes containing the words nancy, drew, mobile and/or shadow : “ Miss Nancy Ellicott smoked And danced all the modern dances; And her aunts were not quite sure how they felt about it, But they knew that it was modern. ” —T.S. (Thomas Stearns) “ No Time, spoke the clocks, no God, rang the bells, I drew the white sheet over the islands And the coins on my eyelids sang like shells. ” — Dylan Thomas (1914–1953) “ From three to six months, most babies have settled down enough to be fun but aren’t mobile enough to be getting into trouble. This is the time to pay some attention to your relationship again. Otherwise, you may spend the entire postpartum year thinking you married the wrong person and overlooking the obvious—that parenthood can create rough spots even in the smoothest marriage. ” —Anne Cassidy (20th century) “ The vanishing volatile froth of the present which any shadow will alter, any thought blow away, any event annihilate, is every moment converted into the Adamantine Record of the past. ” —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882) The Mystery of the Locked Room by Carolyn Keene.

  • Roy Stover Series by Philip Bartlett
    1 The complex and well-told mysteries of The Roy Stover Series by Philip Bartlett A review by David M. Baumann September 22-October 31, 2018 3,928 words series book friend has the admirable habit of giving me some of his extras now and then. He enjoys sharing some of the books he likes or introducing me to a series I hadn’t heard A about before. Two or three years ago he gave me a copy of a book published in 1929 called The Lakeport Bank Mystery. It sat on my shelf unread, waiting for an opportune time. A couple of years later he sent me the second book in the series, also published in 1929. It’s called The Mystery of the Snowbound Express. I set it alongside the first book, and for a few months their once-bright, now slightly faded orange spines attracted my glance as they rested at eye level in a bookcase I pass often. Finally, I took the first volume down to read it. Within a couple of chapters I knew that I had been launched into a topnotch story very well told. Like an ingot of Swiss chocolate among a sampling of Hershey bars, it stood out from the crowd of what was commonly and acceptably enjoyable, and opened my eyes with the unanticipated pleasure of recognizing high quality distinctiveness. “If the other books in this series are as good as this one,” I said to myself with an air of self-appointed connoisseurship, “then I owe my friend an unpayable debt of gratitude for introducing me to a set of stories of singular excellence.” Or words to that effect.

  • KEENE, Carolyn
    KEENE, Carolyn Harriet Stratemeyer Adams Geboren: 1892. Overleden: 1982 Zoals veel juniorenmysteries, is de Nancy Drew-serie bedacht en werd (althans in het begin) de plot geschetst door Edward Stratemeyer [> Franklin W. Dixon] van het Stratemeyer Concern. Zijn dochter, Harriet Stratemeyer Adams nam later de uitgeverij over en claimde lange tijd de schrijver te zijn van àlle Nancy Drew-verhalen vanaf 1930 tot 1982. Onderzoek bracht aan het licht dat dit niet het geval was. De Nancy-verhalen werden, evenals andere Stratemeyer-series, geschreven door een aantal voorheen anonieme professionele schrijvers, waarvan de belangrijkste Mildred A. Wirt Benson (zie onder) was tot het moment dat Harriet Adams in 1953 (vanaf nummer 30) inderdaad begon met het schrijven van nieuwe delen en ook de oude delen vanaf 1959 reviseerde. Opmerkelijk en uniek is de zorgvuldigheid waarmee geprobeerd werd alle sporen omtrent de ‘echte’ auteurs uit te wissen. Byzantijnse plotten en samenzweringen werden gesmeed om veranderde copyrights; dossiers van The Library of Congress verdwenen en niet bestaande overheidsambtenaren werden opgevoerd om de namen van de ware schrijvers uit de boeken te laten verdwijnen.

  • Susan and Bill Albert's Book List
    Susan and Bill Albert's Book List Susan and Bill had been writing together for some time before they began to write mysteries for adults. At the request of readers, book collectors, and librarians, here is a list of all their books, organized according to the name or pseudonym they used. Susan’s books (written independently) are listed first; their co-authored books are listed second. Bill's independent writing consists of the computer programs, documentation, and technical manuals he wrote in his previous incarnation as a systems analyst—he doesn’t think you'd be interested in that stuff.

  • 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.

  • Series Spotlight Review: Doris Force by Todd H. Latoski Page 13
    Series Spotlight Review: Doris Force by Todd H. Latoski Page 13 In 1931, young readers were introduced to sixteen year-old Doris Force, brought to life by “Julia K. Duncan.” Well, as it turns out, “Julia K. Duncan” was a pseudonym for two authors whose talents will forever remain in Nancy Drew history as two of the original ghostwriters for her – Mildred Wirt (who wrote the first two books in the series) and Walter Karig (who wrote the last two books in the series). These two talents brought to life a young orphan girl who lives with her Uncle Wardell Force, and, in a desire to help others, solves four adventurous mysteries with the help of her friends, the stout Marshall “Marshmallow“ Mallow, the playful Kitty Norris, and the attentive David Chamberlin! The stories are well-intertwined, so that each book picks up directly where the previous book left off, and minor subplots in one book are brought to fruition in other books. And to top it all off, the covers and interior art were done by none other than Thelma Gooch, who also illustrated the Blythe Girls series! Doris Force at Locked Gates (or Saving a Mysterious Fortune) When young Doris Force receives a mysterious invitation from the Gates sisters, Azalea and Iris, to come to Rumson regarding her late mother’s brother, John Trent, she cannot resist. With the inheritance left her by her late parents slowly dwindling, Doris convinces her Uncle Ward to let her go to Rumson and visit Locked Gates, thinking that perhaps she was to inherit money from John Trent’s estate! Bringing along her best chum, Kitty Norris, the two are driven to the Gates sisters’ mansion by Doris’ favorite young man, David Chamberlin.

In the WiQA corpus articles are divided into sentences (snippets) each with its own identifier. Given a title, the task is to find snippets which are Important and Novel relative to the article. We indexed the corpus by sentence using Terrier. In our two-stage system, snippets were first retrieved if they contained an exact match with the title. Candidates were then passed to the Latent Semantic Analysis component which judged them Novel if they did not match the text of the article. The test data was varied – some articles were long, some short and indeed some were empty! We prepared a training collection of twenty topics and used this for tuning the system. During evaluation on 65 topics divided into categories Person, Location, Organization and None we submitted two runs.
