As read by the English institution, Enid Blytons Famous Five and Secret Seven books have been torn to shreds to make them upto date.
Fanny and Dick are renamed to Franny and Rick, Bessie, a black girl with a name associated with slavery is replaced with a white girl called Beth, Mrs Slap who used to spank the children has renamed to Mrs Snap who just shouts at them.
Old english like Huzzah, Great Scott etc have been upgraded too and biscuits have been renamed into cookies to "appeal to American readers"
Im sorry, but I think thats a load of shit. Enid Blyton was a legend, brought many children happiness with her books and got generations into reading.
She was JK Rowling before that money-grabbing bitch was born
Oh well, another British institution ripped apart by the P.C bug
What's next, renaming the Motorways to Highways, calling Football soccer and making us change colour to color?
