The first four beloved Nancy Drew detective stories are collected in this handsome volume.

Since her first appearance in 1930, Nancy Drew has solved hundreds of mysteries using her ingenuity, intelligence, and unconventional approach to problem-solving. The Nancy Drew Collection includes the unabridged original text from the first four novels featuring the famous girl detective in a luxurious leather-bound volume: The Secret of the Old Clock, The Hidden Staircase, The Bungalow Mystery, and The Mystery at the Lilac Inn.

Longtime fans of Nancy Drew will enjoy a healthy dose of nostalgia as they revisit their favourite stories, while new readers will marvel at Nancy's incredible sleuthing skills. An expert introduction discusses the creation and evolution of the Nancy Drew character from the 1930s to the present day and offers valuable insight into how the stories have influenced generations of readers.
