Some "Literary" people and some libraries wanted to ban Enid Blyton, while she was alive and also accused her of having a team of Ghost Writers, which was untrue.
Someone started a thread on "The Neverending Story" and I think back in 1989 some people wanted it banned. A marmite sort of book some love and some hate anyway, but the people I know that hated it wouldn't want it banned.
Some people also seem to want to edit history to have books in the past be how they would have written them.
How many of the people banning or Bowdlerizing either read much fiction or write any?
