When I was 14: children's books that seemed okay at the time!

Changing social norms caused all three of these children's books, published in 1964, to be banned in later years.

This books was banned because Harriet's spying and deception were thought to set a bad example for children

.

This book was banned because Charlie had no positive traits and was said to be racist.

This book was banned for being sexist: the boy takes too much from the nurturing (female) tree
