The Mystery at Lilac Inn | Carolyn Keene

As a kid, we had the whole set of Nancy Drew books from the 40's. I devoured them. I remember this one, because Nancy's friend owned this inn, and had some diamonds stolen. I need to go find a copy and read it again . #LyricalApril #diamonds

KimM I've decided I need to start collecting these old books. ❤ 7y
Suzze @KimM I wish I had kept ours. We gave them to our nieces, who passed them on to someone else. Hope they are still being loved. 7y
Cinfhen I love the cover❤️ 7y

KimM Me too. I wish I still had my Nancy Drews, Bobsey Twins and Trixie Beldens. (edited) 7y
BethM Ladies- I have two Nd books- one is 1&2 together, one is 3&4 together from the 1960s I believe. If anyone wants one or both to restart your collections I'd be happy to send them to you. 7y
BethM @KimM my Trixie collection is my pride and joy :) 7y
Sace 😍😍😍😍😍 I love Nancy Drew so much. I have the full set but the covers are a mixup of different times. My book doesn't have this cover. I wish it did! 7y
KimM Oh wow! Thanks @BethM for the generous offer. I'm not sure what decade I plan to collect as of yet. I've never seen the combined versions. Didn't know they existed or maybe I just don't recall. Lol 7y
BethM @KimM I'll take a pic and tag you :) 7y
mcctrish I loved Nancy Drew! I used to save my allowance and once a month go to Woolco ( Canadian predecessor to Walmart) on $1.44 day to buy a new ND book and fries with gravy at the lunch counter #howoldami 🤣 7y
Rachbb3 I loved these. I have the whole set hoping to one day give to my daughter. I had 3 boys. Lol. Well there's always granddaughters. 😄 7y
Gayan This makes me so nostalgic. I loved reading these when I was a kid. 7y
LeahBergen @mcctrish I think I still have some Woolco stickers on my old Nancy Drews! 😂 7y
minkyb Well done! 7y
Laura317 I still have my Nancy Drew books. I wish I still had my Tricia Beldens. 7y
Laalaleighh As a kid my best friends and a specifically read and reread the ones where Nancy got kidnapped. We thought it was exciting. Looking back it freaks me out. I think we were strange children. 7y
Sarah1960 "The sign of the twisted candle" was one of my favorites. Those books began my love of reading! ?❤️? 7y
