Anyone remember Cherry Ames, Nurse? |
At the risk of showing my age, the yellow books were the new ones when I started reading Nancy Drew. I preferred the hand-me-downs from mom & her sisters - they were blue with jackets. (I think I stopped reading when they came out in paperback.)
I used to *LOVE* reading ND!! My parents would scold me for reading when I should be sleeping - "just one more page, PUHHHHLEEEEEEEEZE!!!!" hehehehe
I remember the hair-color being an older word I didn't understand: "titian"? I do recall that the newer ones had a different word and then the paperbacks used "redhead". (or, that's how I remember it anyway)
I remember Cherry Ames!! The box o' hand-me-downs had some scattered Hardy Boys, Trixie Belden and Cherry Ames! (Gosh, I wonder where those books are. I know they were on a shelf in my room in mom's house when I left for college...)
THANKS FOR BRINGING BACK THOSE MEMORIES!
