I have a huge box of Nancy Drew that my ten year old daughter has started reading for Accelerated Reading (AR) points. I've been amazed at how many things I've had to explain to her, things that are now outdated. ("Radiator" in a house comes to mind right now-you know, just things that are no longer a part of our everyday lives. Same thing when she was reading Ramona books.) I also have a good many of the original Bobbsey Twin books, and I loved them, as well. I just went and looked at copyright dates of some of the Bobbysey Twin books, and one of them was 1927, one 1932, and others in 1940s!
A friend recently gave me about 20 Trixie Belden books w/ dust jackets, but I never read those as a child.
Has anyone ever heard of the Billy Green Hill/Aunt Minerva books? They usually had red covers. They are very old, my grandmother read them to me, butthey would be "politically incorrect" these days, a la "Little Black Sambo." I have added two to my collection in the past ten years, and they were very pricey.
