Nancy Drew 14: The Whispering Statue | Carolyn Keene

This post contains spoilers

2. Both editions introduce the terrier Togo to the story, though the 1970 briefly mentions the dog. For those who read the 1937 edition, did Togo add to the story?

The 1970 edition is the first time Nancy goes undercover with an alias...Debbie Lynbrook. For those who read the 1970 edition, what did you think of Nancy's undercover work? Did it work well with the plot? #NancyDrewBR

kwmg40 A mischievous pet always makes a story more fun, and yes, in the 1937 edition, Togo really did drive much of the plot at the beginning. His antics brought all the relevant characters together. 3d

CogsOfEncouragement 1970 - yes, the disguise was helpful and fun, but I often thought that wig would not have stayed on, or that bathing cap over a wig was just not going to work, or oh boy that wig is wet now. BUT I quickly let it go knowing the age of the reader it is written for; I just enjoyed ND hiding her identity. 3d

BarkingMadRead 1937- he really brought the story together, without him, we would never have met the woman looking for her husband! 3d

Ruthiella Togo is only one sentence in the 1970 version. I did like Nancy‘s idea of disguising herself. Yet another skill she has learned now. 3d

Bookwormjillk @CogsOfEncouragement that was distracting to me too. Sailing with a wig on. Seriously? 3d

MariaW In the 1970 version I was quite surprised on how Togo was introduced in the story - as if he has been there the whole time even though he was never mentioned in any of the other books. I guess it is a cohesion mistake due to the changes between the two versions. (edited) 2d

DebinHawaii The 1970 version Togo was “in his special place in the basement” so he wouldn‘t bother guests. I guess he was in the basement the first 13 books?! 😉😂 #FreeTogo 🐶 2d

DebinHawaii The wig was a little wacky but the idea was fun. 2d

dabbe And who was surprised at how well Nancy and her friends could sail? Anyone? Anyone? 😂 2d

TheAromaofBooks @MariaW @DebinHawaii - I was also confused about the sudden arrival of a beloved dog 😂 2d
