Nancy Drew

My Family has had a huge connection with Nancy Drew ever since it's creation.  I discovered this a few years back, and thought nothing of it.   But in the later years, it had come to my attention that I had never read the bloody books! I had made all assumptions that it was like any mystery girl story.  I was wrong.   Nancy turns out to be a really sensible person! Wow!  No wonder in the 1930's-infinity all of the little children were dazed by this miraculous book!
IF one thinks about it, Nancy Drew was a creation of the 1930's where the idealistic woman, was no where close to equality.  Yet Nancy shows that this fact has more or less no effect on her! She was scared of some situations throughout the mysteries she faced, but that didn't stop her.  When she was bullied for being one way or another, she proved herself to be utterly invincible! What a message to send to girls in the 30's!

There was a nancy drew series in the 70's. I believe they did not follow the same plot as the books did, but where nevertheless captivating. I also believe with the same company, they created the Hardy Boys series too.  The Hardy Boys where a huge book success in the same era as Nancy Drew!  Don't just put these books on the shelf! Read them! They are like a trip into a charming vintage world!
