Title: Literary Child Abuse
Review: I read this book because a friend said it was her favorite in childhood. I was horrified. In brief, it is the story of a child who is taught to be the worst kind of martyr, abused physically and mentally by her hideous father, and who never contradicts nor stands up for herself. THE PERFECT CHRISTIAN CHILD? No. A little insufferable masochistic prig.Anyone who encourages his/her child to read these Elsie books has a screw loose.
Is the review positive or negative?
