Enid Blyton was an English fairy tale author who was widely
read by just learned to read toddlers like myself. Her trouble
as seen by today's talentless authors is that she stupidly
thought there were just two genders, male and female. So,
some heretofore nonentity has taken it upon herself to correct
matters by re-writing her works and so inform today's toddlers
that there are indeed hundreds of genders and like nonsense.
Blyton is not the only writer to suffer the indignity of having
their works either revised or expunged from collections. Some of
Shakespeare's sonnets have been seen as not woke and therefore
not to be included. One we learned at school was the Rape of
Lucretia -"With the nightly linen that she wore he penned her
piteous clamors in her head" Some lines I never forgot, those
and "Thick as autumnal leaves that strew the brooks at Vallenbrosa"
My Headmasters favorite from Milton's Paradise Lost. Nothing sexist
about that so it's probably safe from the reformists. Lucky Milton.
