Enid Blyton was a bit fucking near the knuckle though, and I mean I remember reading her books in the mid-to-late 1970s as a very young child in her target demographic and thinking "woah come on, that's a bit much".
If you allow your child to grow up reading this sort of material, they'll grow up to be like Suella Braverman.

I've no objection to leaving the warts in older books - they're slices of life past sliced and preserved in amber, and later editions form a flickering slideshow of changing values and views.
