Ah they're fine. Or at least, Famous Five, Secret Seven, and Faraway Tree books were. I don't remember any "xenophobia" in them.

That said, I never cared for Noddy or her boarding school mysteries.

Also ... they don't have a lot of literary merit. They're fairly engaging and will spark imaginations, but they're not very well written.

The thing says the reclassification was sparked by BLM "protests" - did some of them actually moan about her books, or did the riots just make them look at old books in general?
