HUNGARY

 

Per Simon & Schuster, 6 titles from the Nancy Drew "classic" series were released in Hungary. Although S&S indicated that the titles were from the "classic" series, the only example found so far is one of the "Files." I have scouts looking for copies, but apparently they are no longer available in bookstores.

MAECENAS INTERNATIONAL KFT - Budapest - circa 1991-1994 Nancy Drew Esetei (Nancy Drew Cases)   The Magyar Nancy Drews were published by Rege Kft, in association with Maecenas International. The books are translated into Hungarian by Maria Boda. This publisher uses the American artwork but reformated the cover style. To date, I have been unable to locate a list of the titles available in Hungarian, other than the book used in the example: As Ev Arca, which translates to "The Face of the Year."
Mass market paperback - 7" H x 4 1/4" W.

Many thanks to collector Tom Angi for his efforts in motivating the Hungarian book scouts and providing most of the information and the scan included on this page.
