[The Elsie Dinsmore series]

I thought it might be interesting to check out, but holy gods - it's like some kind of Xian handbook? Blech.

[(Anonymous)]

oh you meant Christian, at first I was wondering what cult this Xian thing is..

[tabaqui]

Hehe. Automatic short-form, I use that without thinking.

[(Anonymous)]

Nayrt

It took me years to figure out people were using that as an abbreviation. I thought it was a Chinese term of some kind.

[tabaqui]

I...can totally see that. :)

[(Anonymous)]

Me too.

Totally. I remember they sold the "updated for a modern audience" versions* at the Christian bookstores. And in the intros and on their website they had like devotionals and stuff.

* among other things, the modern versions had more modern language, was probably lies /overtly/ racist (still pretty racist though, even though I haven't reread them since I became more aware of that sorta thing, it probably had a bunch of white Savior nonsense at the very /least/), and had 1000% less child grooming (: (I had looked up the originals out of curiosity, and was very alarmed to see lots of "if only you were 10 years older I could marry you" from an adult man to a child. Who does indeed marry her as an adult. Yikes.)

[tabaqui]

Yowza, that's ...gross.

My only knowledge of these books comes from the Chalet School series (first published 1920s), where some of the girls read them and even then I think they were referred to as 'those awful Elsie books.' I kind of do and don't want to read them at the same time.
