  • In today's episode of Library Macabre, I am showing you my complete Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys book collection, as well as some other vintage retro mystery series like Trixie Belden, The Three Investigators, The Bobbsey Twins, Donna Parker, Judy Bolton, Beverly Gray, Dana Girls, and more! I also made a funny little silent film skit at the beginning of the video, so let me know what you think!
    I have a few hundred books in my children's mystery collection, but my favorite will always be Nancy Drew. I have been collecting books featuring America's favorite teen girl detective since I discovered the PC Nancy Drew games from HER Interactive as a kid. Since then, I have been collecting first edition Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books, as well as the digest paperbacks and the newer series like Nancy Drew Diaries. Tell me, what's your favorite vintage mystery series, and please don't forget to like and subscribe for more bookshelf tours like these!

    I’ve always enjoyed Nancy but only started to recently buy ND books. Wish I had started much earlier but it’s nice to see other guys buying and talking about ND.
    I’m a huge T3I fan as well and hope to one day complete the collection. They are incredibly difficult to track down.

To answer your question about the Nancy Drew Diaries series....it's awful 😂 it doesn't feel like Nancy most of the time, she second guesses herself, feels much more childish, and sometimes she doesn't even solve the mystery/she's wrong about the culprit! It's also mostly just sabotage plots. But I've heard it gets much better as the series goes, I just haven't given it much more of a chance haha. Oh and the Clues for Real Life book you have was written by Jenn Fisher! She's awesome, she's the reason i got into collecting and has always been an inspiration to me! I also really enjoy the Undercover Brother's series, you should definitely give it a try! I was also wondering, do you have a Farah's Guide?? Great video!

    Back to the Bobbsey Twins: I used to have a website where I wrote reviews of the "New Bobbsey Twins" series as well as the McGurk Organsation. But it seemed to interest no one, so I stopped doing it (The website is still up if you want to see it). Also, what many don't know is that there were basically 3 series (actually, I think the last one is more recent and I never got into it as I was already an adult when it started) The first series of 72 books came out from 1904 to 1979 and were more episodic chapters than actual mysteries. What really interested me were the Wanderer paperback mysteries that started in 1980 (the same time that the paperbacks of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys were made by Wanderer) These are 14 books that were shorter than the original series, but were strictly mysteries. The first one I read was the Secret in the Pirates Cave from 1980. I remember that my brother bought it for me for the flight we took to Bermuda on vacation in 1980. It was especially neat as the story has the Bobbseys in Bermuda solving a mystery! I also vividly remember one particular illustration of Nan in this book that I thought made her very pretty (haha). Then, that series ended in 1986, and a 3rd series called "The New Bobbsey Twins" started in 1987. It lasted for 30 books and ended in 1992. This series consisted of even shorter books, but was in my opinion the pinnacle of franchise. A real effort was made to update the twins to the 1980s (the Wanderer edition felt more modern than the old series, but the stories didn't reflect the 80s the way the "New" series did)

    • @LibraryMacabre

      The general cutoff is book 56. After that, the books went to a different publisher and before long, a completely different creative team so they are quite different in feel.

    This is random but I just found out the great grand daughter of Edward Stratemeyer lives not far from me in PA. Cynthia Adams Lum. Weird lol 🤷‍♀️. Her grandmother was Harriet Stratemeyer.
    I only started researching because I found a First Edition Bobsey Twins book from 1913 at an estate sale. I had no idea the books were written by a syndicate and not one person. I always loved Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys.
    So the Stratemeyer family no longer has any rights to any of the series?

    You’d have been good in the silents, where every actor had to have a face like rubber to communicate the emotions! Thank you for another great video, dude.
    One of my treasured possessions is a book called Holiday Camp Mystery, a truly awful children’s book written to promote Butlins Holiday Camp in England. (Holiday camps are still somewhat popular in England. You live in a trailer park by the beach for a week and spend your evenings in a clubhouse being “entertained”. Sadly not a euphemism for being tugged off by a masseuse.)
    The book is a goldmine of bad expository writing and weird ‘50s values, like the heroes treating a family like subhumans because they’re (gasp!) overweight. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a character who’s supposed to be your likeable leading kid say that he can’t eat his dinner in the presence of fat people because the sight of them makes him sick. The fat kid from The Goonies had it easy, let me tell you...

That is what I read as a kid, and I still pull it out and reread it. I also have a few more series from that time that are not as well known like JJ Fortune's Race Against Time and Adam Mills' Twin Connection. (Race Against Time is more adventure than mystery)
