Nancy Drew Mystery Stories : The Secret of The Old Clock and The Hidden Staircase - Carolyn Keene

I love Dad's copy of Nancy Drew and the Secret of the Old Clock. I love owning my parents' and grandparents' books, knowing we held the same covers, hunched over the same pages with a peanut butter sandwich, clutched forgotten in one hand, or under the covers after lights out.

 

I think I might be due for a rereading of some Nancy Drew. She was a badass.
