God! I re-read a Nancy Drew when I was at my mom's over Christmas. I thought it was the Secret of the Old Clock, but it must not've been, because in it Nancy finds pirate treasure buried on an island, which requires chartering a boat and lots of digging. Not on Nancy's part, of course, on those strapping Emerson College alum, Ned, Burt and Dave.
I like how Nancy exists in this crazy limbo world where all she's expected to do is go to college football games with Ned, solve mysteries, take the occasional art class and zip around in her roadster. No job, or college, or anything like that.
I could never figure out if Hannah Gruen was meant to be black. I must've had the later versions. In the early-early Bobbsey Twins books, there's not so much electricity, and Mrs. Bobbsey wears long dresses.
