Nancy Drew Mysteries, Original Books

This set was issued from 1930 to 1956, consisting of 25 chapters. Most were written, some heavily, to bring them up to date and to eliminate racist elements. In some cases the original and the revised book are similar in plot; in other cases they are two almost totally different books.
