Classic Names and Faces
February 17th, 2016
Have you read any of the classic first edition blue Nancy Drew books? I have read a few, but I looked through an original copy of The Secret at Shadow Ranch (now called The Secret OF Shadow Ranch) and found this interesting page:
This shows that George was not originally called Georgia, but later in the book (not pictured) she states that her family gave up on having a boy and just stuck with the boy name George. Bess, however, is actually a nickname for Elizabeth. Here in this page it states that she is beautiful, but it is Nancy who has an “interesting” face. I simply found this interesting and just had to share these with you!
We have a couple of birthdays to celebrate!

Thank you so much for sharing, Little Jackalope! I always love discovering the original thinking behind things.
Thank you so much for the birthday wish, Little Jackalope! Ice cream just happens to be my absolute favorite food! 🙂
Interesting, I have and read all of the original books, but I don’t remember reading this.
I love how they say Nancy has an “interesting face”! I always thought although Bess was gorgeous, Nancy had an attitude that could be read on her face! 🙂
