Enid Blyton books hidden ‘under the counter’ as libraries fret about offensive language

[Eldorado]

The author’s works are being treated like “contraband” by librarians, with uncensored original versions stashed in an off-limits storage space to prevent the public “stumbling upon” language that is “outdated”.

Only recently edited versions of the author’s works, which have had potentially offensive terminology removed, are publicly displayed across Devon’s public libraries.

Readers who specifically request original versions of titles like the Famous Five are cautioned about their content with a verbal trigger warning.

I wonder what gaggle of fertile females brought forth our current plague of narcissists?

Oh noez.  Is Enid Blyton on the cancelled list again.  This happens pretty much every 15 years.  Why do Left Wing extremists feel so threatened by her?

As new nouns of multitude I have now defined

 

A gaggle of fertile females

A plague of narcissists

 

To those I propose to add:

 

A crisis of sociopaths

A knit of hags

A bedlam of librarians
