<p>Welcome to the "Around the World with
Nancy Drew" web page, an unofficial site that seeks to
inform Nancy Drew fans and collectors about the
international aspects of our favorite girl sleuth's
adventures. Not only does Nancy circle the globe in search
of clues, but her stories have also been translated into a
variety of languages. Author Carolyn Keene must have
been<img src="images/globe.gif" x-claris-useimagewidth="" x-claris-useimageheight="" align="right" height="109" width="109">
quite a linguist! I list below the foreign countries where I
have found evidence of Nancy Drew stories being released in
the local language. As Karen Plunkett-Powell explains in her
1993 book <i>The Nancy Drew Scrapbook</i> (copyright ©
1993, St. Martins' Press):</p>
<blockquote><font size="-1">Through the decades, numerous
magazine articles have reported that Nancy Drew Mystery
stories were translated into fourteen languages; others
cited numbers as high as twenty-five. Because the foreign
publishing market ebbs and flows, there are no accurate
statistics of exactly how many different countries have
licensed and translated the Nancy Drew mysteries since
the 1930s.</font></blockquote>
<p>This has made my task a little
confusing, at best. So far I have found evidence of
translations into 26 languages (27 if you count the Queen's
English as a foreign tongue). Do you know of any I have
missed? Please let me know!</p>

<p>There are two corollary pages to this
site which I hope you can also visit. First there is an
overview of the <a href="ndworld.html">international</a>
sites where Nancy's mysteries have taken place. Nancy has
also been many places <a href="nancyus.html">within
the U.S.A.</a> - has she visited
your state yet? Much to my dismay, I must report that, to my
knowledge, Nancy has only visited 6 out of the 7 continents;
while the Hardy Boys have made it to Antarctica, this is
still on Nan's "Need To Visit" list. Someday I hope to have
a scrapbook showing some of the sites Nancy has seen on her
trips, as well as some pages from her passport.</p>

<p>Nancy often undergoes a personality
change when the publishers abroad set to market her to the
international pre-pubescent set. Some examples of Nancy's
new names are Alice Roy in France, Kitty Drew in Sweden and
Paula Drew in Finland. Please click on the flags below to

<p>On the subsequent pages I have tried
to present a consistent outline of the information, which
sometimes is easier said than done. As you click on the
pages below, you will see that I have divided my research by
the various publishers from each country. <!--Beneath a brief description of the foreign edition is a yellow box containing the physical description of the books issued by that publisher. -->To
the right I have scanned an example of the foreign edition
(when I had one available) for your viewing pleasure. <!--One note of warning - the server can be quite slow and the image files may take a while to load. I have tried to maintain a balance between keeping the image files to a reasonable size while preserving as much clarity and detail of each cover so you can see some of the neat artwork that has been created for the international editions.-->I
think it's really fun to see how others around the globe
perceive and represent Nancy.</p>
<p>Lastly I list all the foreign titles I
have been able to find, in a grid. Sometimes the source I
used would also list the original American title in the
record, but oftentimes I was reduced to looking up the words
from the foreign title in the dictionary, and then making an
educated guess when matching the garbled translation to a
familiar U.S. title. Needless to say, I am sure I made lots
of mistakes, and I would greatly appreciate any help in
correcting these - let me know if you spot any on the
following pages.</p>

<p>For those of you looking to expand
your own international Nancy Drew collection, I have
launched a page devoted to sales of these formats. Click
<a href="ndsalesforeign.html">here</a>

<p>As a collector myself, I am always
interested in hearing from you regarding your international
Nancy Drew collection, and welcome any offers to help expand
my personal collection. I would also like to hear from
others regarding omissions and errors in the information
found within the site; the content is a mixture of my
empirical observations as well as data accumulated from
library databases around the world. This methodology is
hardly exhaustive, and I definitely need the help of others
with first-hand knowledge of these foreign editions to
expand my expertise on the subject. I also welcome any help
in regards to my very amateurish efforts of translating the
titles. I look forward to hearing from other International
Nancy Drew enthusiasts <a href="mailto:foxgraw@gmail.com">by
email</a>.</p>
