I thought the ones I read were OK. I think I have always been so taken with the beautiful artwork that I may have failed to notice they may not be very good. I definitely did notice a change in how they were written, in a way I couldn't quite describe. The dialogue seems a little less stilted, I think.squeezewaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11750753135575040341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157530669780468545.post-11019521781391605772013-09-27T18:10:50.598-05:002013-09-27T18:10:50.598-05:00There's definitely a tone shift with #79.

By the time they'd got into the 1950s, "Wooden Lady" "Ski Jump" etc., I thought they'd lost much of the zip.<br /><br />Going through now the Judy Bolton series, which has been an interesting comparison.<br /><br />Haven't read much of any of the newer ND series in the past around 1970<br /><br />Fun blog!
