Nancy Drew #68

The Elusive Heiress

This page is currently under construction - please return in the future for further information. In the mean time, I have prepared a brief gallery of the covers of The Elusive Heiress.

You may also click here for a synopsis of this story by Todd Latoski, from the June 2005 edition of the online Nancy Drew fanzine, The Sleuth.

Wanderer "Arch" cover by Ruth Sanderson: page 90 - firecrackers thrown at horse's feet to cause runaway stagecoach (Nancy dressed up in period costume)

Wanderer "Checkerboard" cover by Bruce Emmett: page 161 - rescuing Jennifer & Lorna from the Spencers' cabin - Ned breaks out window; Nancy should be in a gingham dress

Minstrel cover by Bruce Emmett: same artwork used in Wanderer "Checks" edition, but image has been slightly cropped.

Armada (UK) Format "D" by unknown artist

Armada (UK) Format "C" cover by unknown artist: composition of elements from the story: Nancy in a cowboy hat, bucking bronco, desert landscape (although Wyoming is not really in the desert)

Tammi (Finnish) cover by Pentti Ajanto: same scene as Sanderson above

Forlagshuset (Norwegian) cover uses Sanderson's artwork (slightly modified?)
