[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps we can save some time by stipulating that most classics are liable to be problematic for today’s values. They were written in a different time, in cultures that sometimes had different values and perspectives. Certainly OP should take that into consideration when selecting books, but it can hardly be a surprise. Presumably OP has a strategy in mind for dealing with content that is objectionable to readers today. [/quote] Would you say the same for music performances of classical music by the symphony, philharmonic, ballets performed, or opera performed? That's why these are considered classics. OP, history is just that. The books were written in a different era. Most children understand that in modern times, we don't usually see pirates walking around with hooks for hands. LoL. In Peter Pan, you will. [/quote]
