The originals are pretty old, I guess. I read Nancy
Drew and every Bobbsey Twins that there was. George,
did you read the Hardy Boys? Also, The Five Little
Peppers and How They Grew, which  is in the
collection. I wish the sequels were. Those of you who
like good wholesome family-oriented books and would
like your children to read them, download that--and
perhaps scan the sequels, which I'd be happy to
validate unless other people want to.

I understand the Nancy Drew and Bobbsey Twins are
republished in modernized versions, i.e., the language
is updated and apparently some themes or ideas that
are considered  not politically correct are changed. I
had to read Nancy Drew at friends' house for some
reason I don't understand; I think my mom was afraid
that they'd make me afraid, but of course they didn't.
I read every Bobbsey Twins book and I don't remember
anything that would be offensive today, and I did not
come out of childhood with any bigotry or any ideas
that people were different in any way, but...whatever
helps kids to enjoy the books uncorrupted today is
good.
