THE SECRET OF THE OLD CLOCK IS ABOUT NANCY, A VERY ATTRACTIVE BLONDE HEADED GIRL WHO IS TRYING TO HELP HER FRIENDS FIND JOSIAH CROWLEY'S OTHER WILL, WHILE ALSO HELPING THE POLICE DISCOVER THIEFS OF HER FRIEND'S BELONGINGS. I READ THIS 180 PAGED BOOK IN ONE DAY, AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO PUT DOWN. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY BOOK I HAVE READ ABOUT NANCY DREW, I RECCOMEND THE OTHERS TOO.ÜÜÜ Susan and Bill had been writing 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 didn't think you'd be interested in that stuff. Currently, I am writing a book which focuses on the history of Nancy Drew. A biography on the original "Carolyn Keene," Mildred Wirt Benson, is in the works. While this website is a good introduction into the world of Nancy Drew, you will find in-depth analysis of all things Drew in my upcoming book. One of the earliest book related collectibles is the Nancy Drew Mystery Game issued by Parker Brothers in 1957. The game was issued again in 1959 with a new cover. Shown at left is the 1957 version featuring Nancy in a red rain coat. The later version featured a green rain coat. There was also a Canadian version of the 1959 game as well as many different formats the games went through. Visit The Nancy Drew Mystery Game section for more information on the various game formats and other series book games including The Dana Girls, Tom Swift, The Hardy Boys and more of your favorite series. In 1967, the Madame Alexander doll company released the Nancy Drew doll. It was 12 inches tall and had a rather baby-like face. There were several versions as shown above featuring a matching dress and coat and a two-piece suit along with scarf and hair ribbons and boots. Accessories included a camera, purse, and sunglasses. The doll was not on the market for very long and remains pricey to collect. Shown above are 5 dolls from the Victoria Broadhurst collection. In 1973, The Nancy Drew Cookbook: Clues to Good Cooking was published by Grosset & Dunlap. What is so secret about Bess's Secret Chocolate Waffles? Are the Captive Biscuits being held captive somewhere? Is Lemonade Disguise another one of Nancy's "bad" aliases? Does the Ivory Charm Shrimp Curry have any lifesaving properties in it? Does the Crumbling Wall Coffee Cake crumble when you eat it? And what is so "special" about The Cousins' Special Cauliflower? These and other questions can be answered in this collectible cookbook, collectible mostly for its nostalgia as a Nancy Drew collectible than for any real tie-in to the mysteries themselves. For a fun look at the cookbook and review of some recipes, visit the Cookbook section. The three mystery activity books were issued as a boxed set as well which featured the cover to #2. Grosset & Dunlap also released two large hardcover picture books for younger children, #1, The Mystery of the Lost Dogs, and #2, The Secret of the Twin Puppets. There were never anymore produced although others may have been planned. In 1979, The Nancy Drew Sleuth Book: Clues to Good Sleuthing was published by Grosset & Dunlap. It featured a large thumbprint on the cover with a silhouette of Nancy and her trusty magnifying glass--same scene repeats on the back cover. Cover design was by Rudy Nappi. Chapters ranged from handwriting to fingerprints to codes. Each chapter featured Nancy and her Detective Club. My Nancy Drew Private Eye Diary came in two versions. The earlier white diary is extremely scarce and hard to come across. Its distribution must not have been very widespread as the red diary soon replaced it on the market. I have seen up to around 10 white diaries sold on eBay since around 1997 that I am aware of, so it's not rare, but it's definitely scarce. The red diary is somewhat hard to find but used to come up for auction a couple of times a year on eBay--now due to the fact that eBay isn't as good as it used to be for collectibles, it comes up seldom--likely being sold elsewhere in book shops or antique malls/etc. The white diary pictured above is from the David Farah Collection. There were several cereal promotions ranging from Raisin Bran to Lucky Charms. Some of the promotions, like those above, involved the regular mystery books or the activity books. Cookie Crisp had coloring books inside that folded out as shown below. There were 6 of these to collect and the actual box is very rare to come by: Fan Clubs were advertised in the backs of Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys Wanderer digest paperbacks and other publications. Shown above are thumbnails of a newsletter issued for the fan club. Also given out were items including notepads and stationary. The above fan club newsletter was donated by a fellow collector, Dorothy. From dastardly villains to spooky old mansions to things that do not always appear as they seem, you'll delight in the fun computer games that Her Interactive has been issuing twice a year. These games are lots of fun to play and to collect the various formats of. Visit the Her Interactive Computer Games section of the library for more details. Over the years there have been many articles and books written about our intrepid sleuth. Shown above is the earliest of such magazines. The April 1934 issue of Fortune Magazine contained an article about Edward Stratemeyer and the Stratemeyer Syndicate. John Axe's guide, The Secret of Collecting Girls' Series Books, is a great resource for all of the various cover art and formats. Other guides include the excellent guide to the Nancy Drew printings, Farah's Guide to Nancy Drew Books and Collectibles.

Trixie Belden is the title character in a series of 'girl detective' mysteries written between 1948 and 1986. The first six books were written by Julie Campbell Tatham, who also wrote the Ginny Gordon series, then continued by various in-house writers from Western Publishing under the pseudonym Kathryn Kenny. Today the rights to the series are owned by Random House. The series was completely out of print for a number of years, but Random House began releasing a new edition of the books in summer of 2003. As of summer, 2006, volumes 1-15 have been reissued.[1] Fans of the series hope to see all thirty-nine volumes reprinted, especially the hard-to-find volumes 35-39. Trixie is a young teen living just outside the fictional town of Sleepyside-on-Hudson, in the Hudson River Valley area of New York.

  • 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.

  • Abstract MERRILL, ASHLEY CHRISTINE. the Evolution Of
    Abstract MERRILL, ASHLEY CHRISTINE. The Evolution of Nancy Drew, Cultural Icon: Readers, Writers, and Fanfiction Authors. (Under the direction of Mary Helen Thuente.) Nancy Drew is widely recognized as an influential American cultural icon. In this paper I make a detailed examination of Nancy's initial characterization as girl sleuth in the first ten books of the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, published in the 1930s. I spend another chapter examining the initial volumes of later Nancy Drew series books, specifically the 1960s rewritten texts, the 1980s-90s Nancy Drew Files series, and the contemporary Girl Detective series. My penultimate chapter discusses Nancy Drew as realized in fanfiction, or stories written by readers and fans. My emphasis is on explaining Nancy's appeal as a cultural icon and the ways fanfiction authors reinvent and appropriate that icon for their own purposes in stories. To this end I cite fanfic writers and readers' response to why they read and write Nancy Drew fanfiction, and I analyze the content and function of a sample of stories written by Nancy Drew fans. I conclude that Nancy's appeal and the basis of her status as cultural icon is due to her unique nature as a figure frozen in transition between adolescence and adulthood, along with her more conventionally admirable traits. Her Everygirl appearance when removed from that unique matrix makes her extremely adaptable to readers for their own purposes, both within the context of fanfiction and without.

THE MYSTERY OF THE BODY: EMBODIMENT IN THE NANCY DREW MYSTERY SERIES by KATIE STILL Under the Direction of Dr. Megan Sinnott ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the ways in which ideas about class, gender, and race are produced and articulated through the body in the Nancy Drew Mystery series in the 1930s. Physical descriptions and bodily movements, as well as material surroundings, work together to reify and contradict dominant ideas of normalcy and deviance being located on the body.

  • Series Books Through the Lens of History by David M
    Series Books Through the Lens of History by David M. Baumann This article first appeared in The Mystery and Adventure Series Review #43, summer 2010 Books As Time Machines It was more than half a century ago that I learned how to type. My parents had a Smith-Corona typewriter—manual, of course—that I used to write letters to my cousins. A few years later I took a “typing class” in junior high. Students were encouraged to practice “touch typing” and to aim for a high number of “words per minute”. There were distinctive sounds associated with typing that I can still hear in my memory. I remember the firm and rapid tap of the keys, much more “solid” than the soft burr of computer “keyboarding”. A tiny bell rang to warn me that the end of the line was coming; I would finish the word or insert a hyphen, and then move the platen from left to right with a quick whirring ratchet of motion. Frequently there was the sound of a sheet of paper being pulled out of the machine, either with a rip of frustration accompanied by an impatient crumple and toss, or a careful tug followed by setting the completed page aside; then another sheet was inserted with the roll of the platen until the paper was deftly positioned. Now and then I had to replace a spool of inked ribbon and clean the keys with an old toothbrush. Musing on these nearly vanished sounds, I put myself in the place of the writers of our series books, nearly all of whom surely wrote with typewriters.

  • Beyond R. L. Stine: Read-Aloud Books and Group Activities for Fifth Graders
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1997 Volume II: American Children's Literature Beyond R. L. Stine: Read-Aloud Books and Group Activities for Fifth Graders Curriculum Unit 97.02.11 by Teresa Matthews "Few children learn to love books by themselves. Someone has to lure them into the wonderful world of the written word; someone has to show them the way." Orville Prescott, A Father Reads to His Children The New Haven school system has recently proclaimed that trade books are the primary medium for teaching children how to read. This approach will prove challenging to even the best classroom teacher. Teachers will no longer be able to depend on the textbook and workbook approach to reading; we will have to be more innovative and creative. In addition to reading as part of the daily curriculum, students will be expected to do supplemental reading on their own. Group activities will include small group discussions of books read, along with supplemental exercises to explore characters, settings, historical perspectives, etc. What better way to bring about this reading "revolution" than by setting a positive example every day of the school year—by reading aloud to the class? Old-fashioned teaching methods associated with reading and reciting lost out to the invention of the ditto machine and more recently to photocopy machines. Educational researchers are now blaming the use of written busy work for the general lack of interest—even boredom-.children feel toward reading. The challenge for teachers today is to keep their students interested in reading purely for the sake of enjoyment, because reading is fundamental to acquiring other forms of news and information.

This is the June-July 2015 issue __________________________________________________________________________________________ YEAH, WE’RE LATE Months late, in fact. As I have mentioned on several past occasions, I never want to be one of those people who bores everyone to tears talking about his assorted medical or personal problems. I also don’t want to bore everybody talking about the past winter, the snowiest winter around here since records have been kept. There was a lot of snow, over 130 inches of the stuff, mostly all coming in the months of Jan thru early Mar, but now, in late May, everything is gone except the harsh memories. I didn’t slip and fall on the snow or ice, which happened to a lot of people around here, including a close friend, and altho a woman ran into the side of my car as I was driving thru an intersection, the damage and inconvenience was relatively minor compared to some of the horrendous accidents that have happened in the area.
