Lashings and lashings of cringeworthy xenophobia

Well, I just read six Malory Towers books in about ten minutes flat, and thoroughly enjoyed them₁₅₅, and hated them intensely. They are rollicking good reads (I like a good rollick) but my word they are frightfully up themselves.

Still. They were jolly rollicking.

I think it must be January- I'm just coming to the end of a St Clare's readthrough, which was alternately gripping and excruciating, as you say.

Still, I'm all rollicked out now, which has to be a bonus...

Incidentally, I'd picked them up in a charity shop thinking big daughter might enjoy them, but having refreshed my memory, I now can't quite bring myself to expose her to such... rollicking...
