these were the only two instances of book-banning once i got as far as Tamora Pierce (age 11). I remember taking the second one of those to mum because it had implied sex in it, and she approved it, and i read the rest of those books so fast she couldn't keep up. So that was the end of formal censorship. The principle was that i was a fairly sensitive kid and would self-censor or simply not understand anything which went over my head. Only problem with the Gaiman and the Auel was them giving it *to* me.
