RE: [Cz-L] What did children read?

 I too read Enid Blyton, and did not regard her as racist,and I certainly
did not do any such condemnation in my Czernowitz books. Enid is still one
of the top English writers of children's books...and modern PC attitudes are
well over the top. Things that were totally acceptable in previous times
need to be judged by the previous standards. Cornel

Then given the racism of Enid Blyton and Jewish stereotypes in Agatha
Christie etc in British literature of the period, did this German literature
not reflect any similar stereotypes? And if so, how did you understand it as
children?
