Of that dust, these muds

Today in the supplement "Sunday" of THE COUNTRY a titled reportage is published "not suitable Enyd Blyton for children", that they introduce of the following form: "The writer had a complex and dark side. After the criticism for racism and sexism, now it is suggested that he was professing sympathies for Hitler".
Already in the body of the article, it is possible to read: "I for example was not remembering of that in Adventure in the island - one of my favorite novels of Enid Blyton together with Shadow, the sheepdog - the villain, Jo-Jo, dumb and lazy, it was black. But also it is true that in Tom Sawyer the villain is an Indian, for not speaking about the concept that Sandokán of the women has and what thinks about the Arabs Beau Geste".
Certainly, one, reading this thinks... difficult what does the struggle to itself for the equality when there are generations and generations who have grown with these books!!
