Oh mercy me.  How absolutely horrid!  I think it's just awful the way our
childhood treasures are being altered like that.  Do I dare imagine what
dreadful fate will befall Enid Blyton's  series "Mallory Towers" which
instilled in me at a certain tender age, a longing to be in a boarding
school having awful fun and secret midnight feasts, and playing lacrosse
(what's lacrosse?)
