Titian. Sleuth. These were just some of the words I first learned when I started reading the Nancy Drew series. Back then, I remember writing Carolyn Keene as my favorite author in autograph books. It was only recently that I found out she is not a real person but a pseudonym for a whole bunch of authors who wrote the series.
Nancy Drew is an eighteen year old from River Heights who always seemed to stumble upon mysteries and is able to solve them. She had her friends, blonde Bess and tomboyish George, and a college boyfriend named Ned Nickerson.

I will always remember this book collection because it grew from a reward system with my parents. Getting good grades (blue, red or gold eagles in report cards) always meant more books from the bookstore. I must have stopped collecting when I reached Grade 6 or 7, no more eagles then. 8)
