Continued from Page 5
It wasn't until her father's death that
Harriet, 38 years old and mother of four,
went into the family book-writing bus
iness. She inherited Nancy Drew from her
father the way she inherited the pseu
donyms and ghost writers. Then she re
i.iodeled the "girl sleuth" along her own
ideals.
She scripted a new improved father,
Carson Drew, who offered Nancy a heady
mixture of encouragement and security.
She scripted an updated man, Ned Nicker
son, who could be at once strong and
admiring. And she scripted Nancy.
I suspect that Harriet Adams was in the
first generation who could have created a
Nancy Drew. To Adams' childhood friends,
Nancy would have seemed like a fantasy of
freedom. To my own generation, she was
an alternative to the passive princesses. To
my daughter's generation, she must be, in
turn, a relief from the emotion and angst
of the Judy Blumes.
But the real clue to Nancy's staying
power is simpler than this history. It's got
to do with character. Nancy has it to the
hilt and to the running board of her blue
roadster. She's a confident, curious,
straightforward young woman making her
way through Harriet Adams' world and
ours.
"The only things Nancy Drew has
changed in the past 50 years are her clothes
and hairstyle," said Adams before her
death. "She's as independent as ever and
despite the changing values of society, her's
are the same. Fifty years ago Nancy Drew
was considered independent. Today her
fans say she is liberated. I guess they are
trying to catch up with her."
It looks like Nancy Drew is still one step
ahead on the case.
