Original Adventures of Nancy Drew MEGAPACK(R)

This volume collects the first four novels in the original Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, before the series was heavily rewritten and toned down in the late 1950s for a cautious, television-age audience. These mysteries, first published in 1930, feature a bolder, more headstrong version of America's most famous girl detective-sharp-tongued, resourceful, independent, and willing to bend the rules, take real chances, and face genuine danger to get to the truth. The girl in these pages doesn't wait for permission or rescue. She drives fast, talks back, and solves crimes on her own terms.If you think you know these books from the sanitized later editions, you're in for a very pleasant surprise: the originals are better.Included are:The Secret of the Old ClockThe Hidden StaircaseThe Bungalow MysteryThe Mystery at Lilac Inn
