That's the point isn't it Lettie - people who love books will read to their kids anyway, and people who can't be bothered still won't be bothered just because they've been sent a copy of some soft p.c. spin.

I still have my set of Mallory Towers books and every now and then I reread them. The trouble with modern books is that they remove the imagination element, particularly for younger children. Mallory Towers series was great for me because I could imagine going to boarding school and having midnight feasts and great adventures.
