COLLECTIONS: Part III - Nancy Drew Books
Growing up I loved reading Nancy Drew mystery books. They were the best! I'm not what you would call a "true book collector". I'm not looking for first editions or rare books. I look for the blue tweed silhouette books with "digger" or "Multi pic" end papers. They are the ones I read growing up. I thought it would be fun to collect these great books from the past. I hope my grandchildren will read and enjoy them (even though the way they are written is somewhat funny today). It will give them a little glimpse into their nana's childhood!
The Nancy Drew series was first published in 1930 and is one of the most successful children's series of all times. The original 56 stories were written by various people under the pseudonym of Carolyn Keene. Over the years there have been different covers, end papers, dust jackets and spines. You can collect first editions, war editions, book club editions, and more. Over the years Nancy, her friends and even her cars have changed. For example: in books 1-34 Nancy is a smart, flippant blond who drives a blue roadster; in books 35-56 her hair is reddish-blonde and she is calm, collected and drives a blue convertible! The first 56 books have been updated and reissued over the years.
Nancy definitely has experienced change over the years. Here's our Lil' Squirtz change patch to honor Nancy and all the changes she has endured since 1930! In celebration of CHANGE, Lil' Squirtz has designed this special edition patch. The triangle, a Greek symbol for change, is simple, pure, and elementary in design - making for a fresh and bold statement.
Embrace change - it is the way of life today.
Enjoy your day.
