So, how did I feel reading them as a grandparent? Well - nostalgic is the simple answer. I had a strong sense that I ought to be reading them under the blankets with a torch. Would I buy them for my grandchildren? I'd probably give them as a curiosity with the aim of provoking a discussion about how attitudes had changed. I know exactly what my feisty granddaughter would have to say!
