Not the individual, author of 600+ titles encouraging everyone to read very successfully since the 1930’s, but the Bowdlerised stuff circulating right now in a book shop near you.
“The Faraway Tree” and “The Wishing Chair” were always my favourites (pure fantasy with magic chairs and enchanted woods and lands-in-a-cloud at the top-of-the-tree and pixies and wizards) comprising 5 titles altogether, maybe 6. Noddy of course, when I was about 2, contributed to my wanting to read – anyway, I’ve been ordering some books for my sister AND THEY’VE CHANGED ALL THE NAMES!!
“Bessie” is out. Why? If you need to ask the question you wouldn’t understand the answer. She’s Beth now. “Dick” and “Fanny” (although actual names) have been rebadged. Golliwogs? Nasty green goblins? Greeks? I suppose I’ll find out when the books (2 x Wishing Chair, 3 x Faraway Tree) arrive and I look through them before posting them on.
Original “retro” illustrations still available [but with the new text] but the original text is still available (from a London source) [2nd hand] as first editions at appropriate £¥$ which is a major cunt deserving to be cunted just to appease the wokeness.
Enid, the authoress, however, remains sound.

It’s a shame that these children’s classics are subject to ridiculous woke censorship. I loved the Famous Five and the Secret Seven when I was a child. If we start censoring the harmless Enid Blyton, where does it stop? A whole plethora of classics, from Tintin through to Shakespeare will either be bowdlerised or banned. Give me Wolligogs any day. Cupid stunts.

Read any Biggles books lately? I know what you mean. Many a childrens Classic now “enjoys” the modern touch, and there are plans afoot to produce the all time classic “Swallows and Amazons” in an updated format. No doubt “stills” will abound, and much ado with gender issues and wokery. I use the term “stills” now as a learned lesson . (Any who served in the Falklands will know that term )

What? Do the new Biggles books tone down the evil of ze Germans or something?
As white males I thought they’d be fair game.

‘stills’
Haha I mentioned that a couple of months ago on ISAC.
I still use the term now and then but I didn’t serve in the Falklands, I’d been out of RN long before.

‘Biggles’? Don’t tell me – fearless female squadron leader, black pilots everywhere, Biggles and Algy are a couple of poofters…
Leave. Our. History. Alone.

Can’t see the name “Titty” getting passed the wokeys in an updated version of Swallows and the Amazons.

It didn’t in the 2016 film. Titty became “Tatty”. Bastards.

Biggles Fly`s Undone is arguably my favourite cockpit-based yarn.

“Biggles Shoots Some Foreigners” has a nice period feel to it…

The first Biggles book I read was “Biggles Hits The Trail.” It had selectively bred (I suppose we’d call them genetically engineered) electric centipedes. When the current was ON they crawled towards you and you couldn’t walk. When the current was OFF you could walk, so obviously they waited until you were half way along the pass (a mile or so between Tibetan cliffs) then turned the current on.
The book is on the table now, due to unpacking boxes. I won’t reveal how Biggles saved the day but the natives, wherever they were chirruped like birds for language and hatched sneaky cunning plans (that didn’t work)

The first book I ever read was ‘The Boy Next Door’ by Enid Blyton. Fucking ace! Complete with illustrations of (white) children dressed up as Red Indians, cultural appropriation at its finest!
A first edition takes pride of place in the Creampuff Manor Library, along with other titles by the great author.
It was the start of a lifelong love affair with books and reading.
Blyton rules!

Ruining our literature with such faggitry should result in a firing squad.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the Famous Five as a kid and the adult versions recently, great fun.

Me, too, Moggie. The innocence of it all. The telly series was good, too.

I’m sitting in the wishing chair now. It doesn’t work anymore though as I notice MeGain Grifter is still alive 😢

I thought it might be a glitch but it definitely isn’t working as choice hypocrite and prune face Kay Burley is back on Sly news today 🙁

Despicable hypocrisy ridden witch.

They are coming for everything western man has ever created or held dear.
History
Film
Sport
Literature
To name just 4.
Not sure who exactly they are but they are here now and they are wreaking havoc.

Have you not seen any adverts recently? They are also coming for western man. The Kalergi plan is being played out in realtime.

Oh I’ve noticed alright BC.
Even Stevie Wonder would notice that the UK’s television is closer to resembling Nigerian state TV than British.
It’s an embarrassment.
Some white men still think it’s just another one of those daft conspiracy theories.
As their peoples entire way of life, history or right to an opinion without fear of potential prosecution or termination of employment, unfolds right in front of them.
Not to worry though and rest assured, the Conservative government have their backs.

To reply to your reply:
I see it as a race (no pun intended). Every day, at it would seem an ever faster pace, the cultural and ethnic destruction of Europe is being pushed forward. Also every day, more and more people are waking up to this horrific reality. The plan is, I presume, to make the damage irreparable before a croitical mass is reached, and enough people rise up to stop the fuckers.
5
‘Critical’, not ‘croitical’ (which relates to a nasty rash in the nether regions).

Leave Enid Blyton alone, marxist cunts. I am surprised that their reading skills are advanced enough to understand her stories. Fuck off.
I watched ‘Margin Call’ last night. Fucking great film, probably in no small part due to the fact that it was made before woke shit completely took over the movie business. No gays, no BAME leads, only Demi holding up the female end in a testosterone fuelled environment. Top billing for Kevin Spacey- ace actor! Surprised it is not banned. It is probably due a remake with an all lezzer and blick cast.

Being burned alive with their newly produced copies of “The diverse and non binary five” strapped to them.
Unkle Terry is going to be busy, and like all members of IAC will be knighted for services to the Country when I am in power! 😀👍

I’m holding you that.

To that…text correction is also a cunt….

If these wokeists fucktards don’t like it, don’t buy it , don’t read it just leave it alone. The sales will be the same of these books but alas these people are in charge for the foreseeable future so book burning and revisions will be the norm.
One day a government or someone higher up the MSM food chain will start to get this once ( agreed not perfect) world to start seeing things how they were but fuck knows how.
I get the feeling this new cult is like the creationist believing the world began 6000 years ago. In a 1000 years time they will say this was year zero.

Like a bit of Golliwog.
When I was younger you were able to collect tokens from jars of jam to buy little golliwog badges, and parade them on your t-shirt or lapel like you were some secret Klan member.
Those were the days.

Back in the 1970s, when Idi Amin declared that he was taking the Queen’s picture off Ugandan postage stamps, Britain retaliated by removing his picture from all the jam and marmalade jars…

I was fortunate enough to be born in more sensible times, and as a child had a small collection of g0lly pin badges from Robertson’s. A fireman, airline pilot, a few others. Weird to see them all doing useful, responsible jobs. Clearly they had to go.

I thought Enid Blyton was shit. Nosey, obedient, characterless kids romping around the countryside. Like Blue Peter clones crushed of all personality. Goebbels would’ve loved it. However, books should be left alone unless it’s a new story like Five Go Mad With Covid.
And Fuck Off Noddy.

Ffs they’ll make Dennis the Menace a trannie if they get their way. Fuck off

They still sell Golliwogs in Zimbabwe.
Maybe Bob got something right………..
Who are the cunts who dream up this shit?

I received a copy of “Five on Brexit Island” a few Christmas’s back.
Most amusing-Enid would approve 👍
The comic Strip’s “Five go mad in Dorset” is a work of art😀👍
5
CG@ – “Mr Jolly lives next door” is the best Comic Strip Presents – it is truly unpleasant! 😀👍
The Famous Five would be “Five get Fisted” if they wrote it now.

Should have known the Wolligogs would get banned. I bet the little cunts aren’t even on the jam jar any more. S’ well fuckin’ ray-cist, innit!

It’ll all be shite like ‘Five Go Dogging’ or ‘Five Take The Knee’ now. I wonder if Dick and Fanny were inspired by a certain gentleman farmer, summers spent shooting pigeons and foxes with lashings of ginger beer.

I think that the Golliwogs in Noddy were called Golly, Wo99y and Ni99er. Imagine today’s snowflake generation having an aneurism when they read that.
If you had time Google Rupert and the Diamond Leaf, certainly wouldn’t be printed today.
My kids watched Noddy up to about 7 years ago. Big Ears was a minor character because I guess his name was considered insulting and the Golly’s had been replaced by Goblins.
