I was massively disappointed the christmas my grandmother got me one of those sets. I didn’t know the terms for “classic literature” or “unabridged,” but I had already read like two of those and found out they didn’t match the originals, and was pissed. So I described the series to my gramma perfectly and said “so okay, you know those? NOT those. Just stuff ~like~ those. The ~real~ books, please.” Of course she got me the box set, I’d spent ten minutes describing it. Maybe I woulda been more articulate if I hadn’t been stuck with six year old level reading.
