Well, I was omnivore in this age - but forced one, as there was not much books at all in my town, even counting libraries. And I can compare with current situation, seeing that some books are not very appropriate to kids.

Fairy tales are was quite heavy censored already, I think. I can only remember Hans Christian Andersen that is treated here as children writer... when he is not.
