Young girl sitting in a tree in the summertime, reading The Castle of Adventure ... a long time ago and quite far away. Neopan 400.

I loved these books as a child. I came across them decades later while moving, sat down, started re-reading them and it dawned on me how unbelievably racist they are. Times change.

I don't know those specific books but, yes ... the period and some authors in particular just breathed their racism into their creations. Pretty horrible.
