When Sally shows up at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, she wears a Spring flowery Vera style shift dress and she brings with her Nancy Drew and The Clue of the Black Keys.

Published in 1951, the mystery is the 28th in the Nancy Drew series, and once again, Nancy  stumbles onto a mystery as she tries to locate an archaeologist who disappeared with the clues to a buried treasure. This mystery involves a sea captain grandfather’s old diary, Central American antiquities, a hidden island in the Florida Keys, a cipher carved in a stone tablet and three black keys.

We know our letters just fine, and we know our numbers to a certain point, but books were always the realm of four-eyed poindexters with bowler hats and cravats. That’s why it pleases us so that America’s proud illiterates are finally stepping up and pushing back against the crushing tide of education that threatens to swallow us all into its gaping maw of checked facts. Champions of the Ignorantiat will not like it here.
