Dave,
The original author only wrote the first 50 Nancy Drews. The rest have been
written by several different people using her pen name. True ND fans will
notice that a. she starts out as a high school grad just bumming around. Then
you get to the "Case Files" and suddenly she's in college. b her hair magically
changes from strawberry blonde to dusty blonde to blonde through the course of
the books, c the personality of the ND in the Nancy Drew Notebooks (the 8 year
old Nancy for little kids) is very different than that of the older ND. and d,
her dad changes back and forth between being just a famous criminal lawyer to
being specifically a prosecuting attorney. That's what happens when you've got
many people writing for the same series. Also with the latest ND craze, the
All New Girl Detective the books are suddenly modernized in some ways but not
others and are written in first person rather than third like all the others.
I don't think the Hardy Boys have seen this many inconsistency errors.... but
then again i could be wrong.
