Check out the new Nancy Drew Leatherbound Edition with a historical introduction written by me for the 1930 Nancy Drew books #1 The Secret of the Old Clock, #2 The Hidden Staircase, #3 The Bungalow Mystery, and #4 The Mystery at Lilac Inn. Canterbury Classics is publishing and it's being distributed by Simon & Schuster. Available September 29, 2026. You can pre-order yours at Amazon or Barnes and Noble. If you are attending the Nancy Drew Convention in St. Louis, signed copies will be there too.
I was asked last year by Canterbury Classics to write a historical introduction for this leatherbound set and it was a nice opportunity to introduce these 1930 texts and bring in some historical information for fans and enthusiasts of Nancy Drew. I had a couple of months to work on it and feel like I did all the fans proud, they liked it too. I hope you all enjoy the introduction I wrote and learn something fun about Nancy Drew's history. It's a beautiful leatherbound volume! The Amazon link has a video of them holding and opening the book which is fun to check out. The endpapers inside are the vintage orange silhouette endpapers. Even though those were not published in 1930, they add some vintage flair. I think they did a great job and like how they styled the covers and spine, though I've not got my copy just yet to see it in person, but the photos I'm sharing here look amazing! It's a very reasonably priced leatherbound edition at $29.99.
