This is Book 23 in the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, published in 1946. I've always been a fan of Nancy's and have taken several opportunities to re-read the "old" mysteries--meaning the books published before the revisions began in 1959.
I picked up this book in an antique mall in Newark, Delaware. The store had a few of the older books (blue covers with a silhouette of Nancy holding a magnifying glass) along many more of the revised books with yellow covers and illustrations.
I selected The Mystery of the Tolling Bell because I remembered it as a good one. Well, either my memory was wrong or my tastes changed because this time around I found the mystery to be mediocre.
Oh well, you can't win them all.
