"A childhood favourite ruined by the P.C. Campaign"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

I think all who look to enid blyton for the magical experience of immersive reading that we have grown accustomed to should know that this book is the edited version – i.e. The version that sucks kabootie

On glancing at the back of the book I noticed that instead of the characters Jo, Bessie and Fanny, they had been replaced by Joe (to man it up I suppose?), Beth (less like a cow?) and Frannie (Fanny is now a rude word?)

I thought it was a typo but unfortunately it's all throughout the book. The dwarfs have been switched to elves (that coincidentally have white beards that reach the ground?!)

The infamous Dame Slap from Dame Slap's school has been turned into Dame Snap. Instead of giving naughty pixies and imps slaps; she shouts at them.

Instead of editing it, i'd rather they just tag on a label warning of political incorrectness than ruin a lifetime favourite.
