Sunday's NY Times ran this article about Nancy Drew in the news. “I’m amazed by how people can read the same book and have different perspectives,” said Jenn Fisher, 35, an Arizona-based former lawyer who runs Nancy Drew fan conventions." For me, I think, Nancy Drew represented a smart, resourceful girl who could pull anything out of her purse to solve a problem. She could also travel the world at a whim. Our public library did not carry these books, so I had to scrounge to find them. Fortunately, one of my best friends owned copies of the series, so I could borrow them from her (as well as her Archie comic books). I am sure that if I tried to revisit these books, I would be disappointed, so I just keep Nancy, Bess, George, and Ned in my memory.
