aaah. Nostalgia. I recently stumbled upon a reading of a Biggles book on the BBC7radio website. It was read by Michael Palin who captured the pip-pip tally-ho, jolly hockey-sticks accent perfectly. Made me smile.

Have to confess that the summer movie for me is "Nancy Drew". I grew up on the Hardy Boys, Dana Girls, Nancy Drew, and the Bobbsey Twins. My Dad read me a chapter a night for years. I looked forward each night to that chapter and weekends when I might con him into an extra chapter. Must be why I love a good mystery today.

We get alot of vintage Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew at the used bookstore where I work. Always love to see them. I also was a big fan of The Three Investigators. The new Nancy Drew (in the movie) looks awfully young...but, maybe I'm just getting old. lol!

OH!!!! I miss the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew! I wonder what it would be like, reading them now.<br />

I'm going to find out, for sure! Thanks for the reminder. Lots of good memories!

My father used to go to dusty little flea market shops and funky almost-antique stores about every other weekend, where he picked up vintage Nancy Drew, Dana Girls, and Hardy Boys books for me (then about 50 cents to a dollar a piece). Now my nine-year-old daughter has the entiire collection and devours one mystery after another. I nearly fainted, though, when I spotted a couple of the same titles I own at a used book shop for $60.00-70.00/each!!! My Nancy Drew collection spans #1-52 plus the…

The new books in both the Hardy and Drew series do not compare to the originals. I still envy Nancy's speedy little roadster. Anybody want to go for a spin? The Curious Book Store.

The Curious Book Store. That's it. There are some great old magazines in the basement, too. I've picked up a bunch of the Police Gazettes, Alfred Hitchcocks's, etc.

You'll be pleased to know that Frank and Joe faced danger bravely. There was a moment, when they were strung up by a lynch mob I thought for sure it was the end of the Hardy Boys, but "In this moment of peril, Frank, as always, retained his presence of mind." And so the boys narrowly escaped. They solved the crime, caught the criminal, convinced him to confess and restored their own good names. They even managed to return home with a piece of evidence which allowed their father, the…

Joyce, I read Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys too - also the Three Investigators (Red Gate Rover, anybody?). For me, they were the next step up from the Famous Five and the Secret Seven. Happy days!
