I can't touch the Narnia books anymore because of all the heavy-handed religious allegory, but the misogyny and racism don't help (y helo thar, Muslim terrori--I mean Calormen!).

Lloyd Alexander's books are an example of the former, though. Especially the Westmark cycle. I've gone back and re-read them and now I'm catching exactly what was going on with the politics and war and people's revolution and I appreciate a lot more of the point he was making and how utterly screwed up and disturbed a lot of the characters were. LotR the same way. I first read it when I was ten, and it just gets better every time.

Well, that sounds awesome. I've got a 15 hour flight coming up next week and now I've got reading material! Thanks, anon. (I swear I get the best recs from f!s sometimes - as wanky as this comm can be, it's one of the reasons I keep coming back.)

I will say they're fast reads, though. It's pretty simple prose because they were intended for the 11-13 demo. But there's a lot of pretty dark stuff packed into it. Some decently dark stuff in Prydain (certain parts of Taran Wanderer and The Black Cauldron are still High Octane Nightmare Fuel to me). But Westmark really ups the ante in that regard. The second book in particular is terrifying even 10+ years later.
