However, if you want to modernize, give Shakespeare a go.
I'm OK with leaving it original as well, however it could annoy a child brought up with more modern usage. Then again, a child who likes to read probably won't care one way or another. Parents downloading the book may even prefer their child get exposed to older styles of writing!

As an adult, I found it downright annoying, BUT:

I read my father's books as a child and got thoroughly inundated with non-modern stuff, not to mention assorted stereotypes that absolutely would not fly today, and survived it all!

I'll give Shakespeare a skip for modernizing, thanks.
