This review is from: The Clue of the Whistling Bagpipes (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, No 41) (Hardcover)

Nancy finds mystery in every thing she does. That's only one of the draws that kept children as well as adults reading the tales of our heroine well into the millennium. Author Mildred Wirst Benson died at the age of 96 this past week. She leaves behind a legacy of mysteries and a strong female character for the changing times.

Nancy flies into Scotland on family business with her dad and friends, Bess and George. She is in search of a Morgan family heirloom that is missing. There is plenty of excitement, danger, and lots of mystery as she hunts for more than just an heirloom.

Nancy exudes strength of character and an independency that rang out long before it was politically correct. This author was a woman with ideas that reached far beyond her time. She leaves behind a series that will live on long into the future. Kelsana 6/2/02

Authour: Caroleen Keen

This is a great mystery book , but it is not the best writen. The main characters are Nancy Drew, because this is a Nancy Drew book, and her two friends Bess and George. They are going to take a trip to Scotland becaure Nancys Great Grandmother has lost the heirloom she was going to give to Nancy, but Nancy thinks it may have been stolen. Odly anough she starts to get warnings not to go. An example is a note anonamisly sent saying she will regret going to Sotland.She and her brave friends decide to go on with the trip. They love the scenery there, but there are some realy odd things there, and odd people. One guy tries to run them off the road. Somewon ells tries to push George off of a cliff. What was at first a trip to relaxs and to have fun had turned into a trip for solveing a mystery. Nancy ,Bess and George figure out who has caused these things to happen and who took the heirloom. You will never guess who it is!! If you are looking for a quick exciting adventure you will love this book, but if you want something that is realy well writen, the kind you won,t forget , then go look for another book!

This is one of my favorites of the original Nancy Drew mysteries. Nancy and her friends head to Scotland to try and figure out who is stealing sheep and what happened to her family's missing heirloom. Along the way we discover that Nancy is related to Scottish nobility, Nancy learns to play the bagpipes, and spends quite a bit of time dressed in traditional tartans. I like this book because quite a bit of attention is paid to drawing Nancy's surroundings. In some of the other Nancy Drew books the action could happen anywhere, but this one is clearly set in Scotland. Great mystery, fun to read.
